Another Test innings, heavy on Rohit Sharma. If you were thinking that something will change in the second innings of the Melbourne Test. When you wake up on the morning of 30th December, you will notice some change in Rohit's batting, but please forgive me, nothing like that happened. Rohit undoubtedly played his longest Test innings in the last 2 months in terms of balls, but in terms of runs he once again remained behind. Rohit's continuous failures in Test cricket had already troubled him, now after the Melbourne innings, there are question marks over his return to the field in the white jersey.

Will Rohit Sharma retire from Test?

The biggest question is whether the Melbourne Test is going to be Rohit Sharma's last? Will Rohit Sharma not play the next Test in Sydney? These are the questions whose answers are hidden in the results of the Melbourne test. If India wins the Melbourne Test, it is possible that Rohit will be seen captaining in Sydney also. But, if we lose, then there are reports that the reins of captaincy in the Sydney Test can be handed over to Bumrah. Recently there was also a report that Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar is present in Australia only so that he can take a decision on Rohit Sharma's Test career.

Why is the finger pointed at Rohit?

However, now it is important to know why fingers are pointed at Rohit Sharma? The strings of this important question are not only related to the innings of Melbourne Test. Rather, this is the effect of Rohit's similar performance in the last several Test matches. A performance that anyone would want to get rid of. Now Rohit is not getting rid of his poor form, so the Indian team management would want to part ways with Rohit.

Average of 6.20 in current BGT

Rohit Sharma's failure in batting in Test cricket can be understood from the number of runs he has scored in the current Border Gavaskar Trophy. Jasprit Bumrah has taken almost the same number of wickets in his name. Rohit Sharma has scored only 31 runs in 5 innings of 3 Tests at an average of 6.20. Whereas. Bumrah has taken 30 wickets. It is clear that for Bumrah, Rohit's number of runs is only one more than the number of wickets. Well, this is the first reason due to which Rohit Sharma's Test career is in danger.

Not one or two, the story of the last 15 innings is the same

The second reason for pushing Rohit towards retirement is that the question is not only about Rohit's failure in the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In fact, they have seen similar failures before. If we talk about Rohit Sharma's last 15 Test innings, he did not perform anything special there either. Rohit has scored only 164 runs in the last 15 Test innings at an average of 10.93, in which his best score has been 23 runs. Meaning, leave alone a century, the Indian captain is not even able to score a half-century.

Batting failed, captaincy also derailed

Rohit Sharma's batting has definitely failed. The hands are equally tight in captaincy also. India won the first Test in Perth because the command was in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah. But, as soon as Rohit took over the reins of captaincy in Adelaide, the team had to face defeat. The third Test played in Brisbane was a draw, which was largely due to rain. Not only this, before this, Rohit's captaincy was also under question in the home Test series against New Zealand, when India had to suffer a clean sweep.

There will definitely be talk of retirement?

Now if there are so many loopholes, questions will definitely arise. People will definitely talk about retirement. It is happening there also. Rohit Sharma's retirement is trending on social media.
