The last few months have been very bad for Rohit Sharma from cricket point of view. On one hand his bat is silent. On the other hand, the captaincy has been completely ineffective. The same was seen in the Melbourne Test also. While fielding first, he made many captaincy mistakes. Then he changed his batting position while batting and came to open. But it was of no use and he was out cheaply after scoring 3 runs. Since then, speculations have started about his future. Meanwhile, Chief Ajit Agarkar has also reached Melbourne, after which it is being claimed that he has come to talk about retirement.
Amidst the poor performance of Team India, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar has reached Melbourne. According to PTI report, he can talk to Rohit Sharma about his future. The Indian team is going through a phase of change. There is speculation that if the Indian team is unable to qualify for the World Test Championship final, then Sydney could be the last match of Rohit's Test career. After a few weeks, the Champions Trophy is to be played, which will be played in ODI format. According to the report, Ajit Agarkar can talk to Rohit to remove the responsibility of Test and play freely in the tournament.
Let us tell you that recently due to not being able to make a place in the playing XI, the team's veteran spinner Ashwin himself had announced his retirement. There was a huge uproar after this. It was claimed that he was forced to take this decision. Now amidst poor performance, the team management is waiting for a similar decision from Rohit. However, despite his poor form, no such thing has come to light regarding Virat Kohli at the moment. Now it remains to be seen how true these speculations prove to be in the coming days.
Rohit Sharma is continuously performing poorly. In this series against Australia, he has scored only 22 runs in 4 innings at an average of 5.5. During this, the Indian captain played innings of 3,6,10 and 3 runs. Whereas in the last 14 innings of the Test, he has been able to score only 155 runs at an average of 11.07. During this period, only 1 half-century has come from his bat. Rohit touched double figures 5 times in these 14 innings, while he was out within 10 runs 9 times. At the same time, they recently lost the 0-3 test series against New Zealand. Now they have lost 2 matches in the current series against Australia.
