IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma will not retire now? Told what is the plan ahead
Team India finally lost the Test match in Melbourne after 13 years. Team India lost the series after losing the fourth match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After this defeat, questions are being raised on Rohit Sharma's captaincy. Neither his captaincy nor his batting was strong in the series. After losing the Melbourne Test, it was believed that Rohit Sharma might announce retirement. But he has not done so. He told what his future plans are?
Rohit Sharma's pain spilled out after the defeat
After losing the Melbourne Test, Rohit Sharma's pain spilled out. In the press conference, the Indian captain said about his captaincy and batting, 'I stand where I was standing today. As a captain and batsman, some results did not go in our favor. It is disappointing. Mentally it is disturbing, but till now it is there, there are some things as a team and I need to look at them'.
Apart from this, the Indian captain said about the fifth and last match of the series to be held in Sydney, 'Sydney is an opportunity for us to come out and do what we can do as a team. We will try to play that match well'. Rohit Sharma did not talk about retirement.
Poor captaincy by Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma was neither able to make a mark with his bat nor was he able to win the hearts of the fans with his captaincy. Rohit did not play the first Test due to the birth of his second child. Jasprit Bumrah captained and Team India won by 295 runs. After this, Rohit returned in the second Test but India suffered a crushing defeat by 10 wickets. After this, the third Test played at Gabba was drawn. At the same time, in the Melbourne Test, when Team India had made a comeback in the match and was at one time in a position to win the match, the shameful defeat will definitely raise questions on his captaincy.
Scored only 31 runs in the entire series
Apart from this, Rohit Sharma's bat has also been completely silent in this series so far. Rohit was able to score only 9 runs in both innings of the Adelaide Test. He scored only 10 runs in the Gaba Test and 12 runs in the Melbourne Test. Rohit scored 31 runs in five innings of three matches. His best score was 10 runs.
