The clean sweep by New Zealand on home ground and consecutive losses in Australia have marked the end of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma’s international career.
He is expected to announce his retirement during the Sydney Test. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma’s final social media post in 2024 has gone viral.
Indian media, which previously focused on captaincy disputes within the Pakistani team, now reports that following Rohit’s departure, several players, despite seniority, are vying for leadership roles.
According to media reports, the search for a successor to Rohit Sharma as Test captain is in full swing, but no decision has been made yet. In Rohit’s absence during the first match of the Test series, Jasprit Bumrah captained the team. However, with Rohit’s departure, many players in the dressing room are keen on taking up the leadership role.
Although Jasprit Bumrah is seen as a potential long-term Test captain, reports suggest that Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are also considered strong contenders for the role.
Rohit Sharma’s final post of 2024 showcased his achievements of the year, further adding to the speculation surrounding his retirement. Despite leading India to success in the T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies, Rohit’s performance in Test cricket has failed to impress fans, with his recent performances showing a decline. In the ongoing series against Australia, Rohit scored only 31 runs across six innings in three Test matches.
The post he shared on social media went viral, with many fans reflecting on his successful 2024 but also acknowledging his struggles in recent Test series.
