The Indian Cricket Team on Saturday successfully defeated Aiden Markram's South Africa in the all-important Final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 by a small margin of seven runs and became just the third team after England and West Indies to lift the T20 World Cup Trophy for the second time since the tournament's inaugural edition in 2007.



This was the Men in Blue's second T20 World Cup triumph since 2007 and all fans were really happy and busy celebrating India's win. However, the celebrations were cut short as the senior duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from the shortest format of the game after helping their side lift their second T20 World Cup trophy.



In the post-match presentation, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma made the announcement of his retirement.



?This was the T20 International match of my career for the Indian Cricket Team. No better moment than this to bid farewell to T20i Cricket. I have enjoyed and loved each and every moment of my T20 International career. I made my International debut in this format and I wanted to end it on a good note by winning the T20 World Cup trophy.



?I wanted to win this trophy badly. It's very hard for me to put this title victory in words. I was really desperate to win this trophy as the captain of the Indian Cricket Team and I am happy that we crossed the line in the end,? Rohit said during the post-match presentation.



Sharma exits from the shortest format of the game as the highest run getter - 4,231 runs in 159 games and even holds the record of scoring the highest number of centuries (five) by a single player. He has lifted the T20 World Cup trophy twice in career: the inaugural 2007 one as player under the leadership of MS Dhoni and now as a skipper?in?2024.

The Mumbai based Cricketer began his International Career as a player in T20 Internationals and ended his career in the format as a title winning captain. The 37 year old is regarded as one of the best batters in the world and he is well known for introducing the Cricket world to the extremely special front foot pull shot which Rohit plays at will.



The pull shot is played on the back foot, but Sharma introduced a new-version of the shot by playing it on the front foot and not towards the usual square leg and third man regions but towards the mid-wicket?region.



While Rohit has managed to score five classy T20 International centuries in his career, the Indian skipper played one of the most important and clutch knocks of his career in the Super eight encounter of the 2024 T20 World Cup against 2021 winners Australia. The opener played an incredible knock of 92 runs in just 41 deliveries which consisted of eight huge sixes and seven good looking fours. He also holds the record of smashing 200 huge sixes in T20i Cricket, a record which may be unbreakable for the foreseeable?future.

Rohit Sharma's stats and achievements after T20I?retirement

rohit-sharmas-stats-and-achievements-after-t20i-retirement

IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma has become the talking point among the former Indian players, cricket pundits, and fans. The Indian captain has been going through a rough patch and struggling to score runs. After scoring nine runs across two innings in Adelaide, Rohit scored ten runs in the first innings of the third test at the Gabba.
He once again got out to his opposite number, Pat Cummins, trying to play an avoidable ball on the fourth and fifth stump. Well, it hasn't helped India either. His demotion in the batting order to no. 5 has not earned success. In fact, his numbers have declined rapidly in the three innings he has spent at this position.
So, what has stopped suddenly? Though Rohit entered this series with poor form, he has not been able to get to double digits now. It has raised concerns about his place in the test side as well. Is batting in the middle order hurting him? His former teammate Cheteshwar Pujara has his say on this.
<h2>IND vs AUS: Cheteshwar Pujara opines Rohit Sharma should bat at the top to regain his form</h2>
In two out of three innings played in the ongoing BGT series, Cummins set Rohit up with bowling just outside off. He got him out with an inswinging ball in Adelaide and dismissed him at the Gabba, bowling outside off. That's what Cheteshwar Pujara highlighted during his interaction on Star Sports.
Pujara said that the ball Rohit got out to was not there to drive, and the Indian captain should have defended it. Talking about Rohit Sharma's struggle in the series, Pujara said that the Indian captain should bat at his normal position at the top, which suits him the most.
The veteran star said, “He has been opening the innings, now he’s batting at number 6. I still feel that when you are so much used to opening the innings and when you have to wait, then you put yourself in that doubt. I mean, it doesn’t help you when you’re opening innings and you suddenly start batting at number 6."
Rohit decided to bat in the middle order after KL Rahul played well in Perth. Rahul had another good show in the first innings, and he scored a gritty 84, which helped India to hold one end. India are still 193 runs behind Australia with only one wicket in hand in the third test. With rain predicted for the final day, this match is heading towards a draw.

Rohit Sharma has scored only 19 runs across three innings in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He missed the first test, which India won under Jasprit Bumrah.

Is playing at no. 5 hurting Rohit Sharma's game? Cheteshwar Pujara reveals reason behind Rohit's struggles

Indian Cricket Team's captain Rohit Sharma has been in poor form with the bat so far in the ongoing 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series versus Australia. Playing as an opener, the 37-year-old got dismissed after scoring just three runs in the first inning and it was yet another failure for the Indian skipper versus the Mighty Aussies. His poor form has created a lot discussions regarding his retirement from Red-Ball Cricket. 
Through various Social Media platforms, a lot of claims are being made that Rohit is going to retire from the longest format of the game post the conclusion of the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy series and the BCCI has come ahead and they have given a huge statement regarding the same.
Speaking to Insidesports regarding the possible retirement of Rohit, a BCCI official said, " There have been no discussions regarding the retirement of Rohit (Sharma). All of these are rumours and we don't prefer to respond on rumours. We are hearing these baseless rumours for the first time. It's upto him (Rohit) to decide whether we are in the middle of a Test-match or not. It's about winning matches."
<h2>The poor form of Rohit Sharma continues</h2>
The Indian skipper is currently having a tough time out there in the middle with the bat in Australia. If we take a look at his last 10 Test innings, he has managed to score just a single fifty. In the last 10 Test-innings, the 37-year old has scored 3, 10, 6, 3, 11, 18, 8, 0, 52 and 2 runs respectively. Even in the first inning of the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test, the former Mumbai Indians captain got dismissed after scoring just three runs.
<h2>Rohit Sharma's Test career so far</h2>
37-year-old Rohit Sharma has taken part in 66 Test-matches so far in his career. In 114 innings of these contests, he has managed to score 4,289 runs at average of 41.24 with the help of 12 hundreds and 18 fifties with a highest score of 212 runs next to his name. It's worth noting that Sharma made his Test debut in 2013 versus the Windies. 
<h2>The captain himself is proving to be the weakling</h2>
A captain of a team is regarded as the most important and experienced player and their role is to rescue their team from difficult situations and lead them to victory. However, in the case of Rohit Sharma, he is proving to be the weakest link of the Men in Blue. 
His poor performances with the bat are proving to be problematic for the Indian Team and in the last 14 test innings, Rohit has managed to score just 155 runs at a horrendous average of 10.07 which includes just a single half-century.The score of 52 runs has been his best score and besides that, the 37-year-old has not managed to cross the 20 runs mark even once.

Rohit Sharma's repeated poor performances with the bat have raised questions regarding his place in the team and many experts and Indian fans want him to retire from Test Cricket

Will Rohit Sharma retire after the Border-Gavaskar Series? BCCI gives a huge statement

will-rohit-sharma-retire-after-the-border-gavaskar-series-bcci-gives-a-huge-statement

Rohit Sharma and his men have suffered their second defeat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy as Australia clinched a 184-run win in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium. With this win, they have taken a 2-0 unassailable lead in the series with one game to play.
Australia have a golden chance to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade-long wait and also qualify for the World Test Championship final. On the other hand, it has been a horrible last few months for Team India and Rohit Sharma. India were clean swept for the first time in history by New Zealand.
They lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka. Apart from that, the form of the Indian captain is another big talking point among the former cricketers and fans. Rohit once again failed in the second innings at MCG and got out for nine runs off 40 balls. He never looked in control and lost the game.
<h2>IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma achieves an unwanted record with another failure in ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
India had a target of 340 runs to win. But the top order failed once again. Rohit got out to the Australian captain Pat Cummins yet again. It was the 8th time that Cummins dismissed the Indian captain in Tests. Rohit scored only nine runs. With this, he has only scored 31 runs in five innings across three tests he has played on this tour.
He has scored runs at a dismal average of 6.20 with a high score of 10 runs. Rohit has now recorded the lowest batting average by a visiting captain on Australian soil. His average of 6.20 is the lowest of all time since the game has started. Earlier, former West Indian captain Courtney Walsh held this record with an average of 7.75 during the 1996-97 tour.
Rohit's form has come under scrutiny as the MCG loss has demolished India's chances to qualify for the WTC final. The Indian captain has struggled to get to even double figures. He has only scored 164 runs in the last 15 innings at a below-par average of 10.93. Overall, he has scored 619 test runs in 2024 at an average of 24.76.
India needed to win this test, and they were in a good position at one point. But now, their qualification depends on Sri Lanka when they host Australia for two tests. But before, India need to win the fifth test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Struggling Rohit Sharma registers an All-time embarrassing record with his dismal performance at the MCG

struggling-rohit-sharma-registers-an-all-time-embarrassing-record-with-his-dismal-performance-at-the-mcg

Rohit Sharma, the current captain of the Indian Cricket Team is set to take the big decision of retiring from Test Cricket following the conclusion of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series versus the Australians. According to a media report, Rohit will be taking a big decision regarding his career after the conclusion of the ongoing series. 
Let us tell you that the Men in Blue have failed to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, a series which the Indians have won on the previous four occasions. On the other hand, the personal performance of the 37-year-old with the bat have been poor too, managing to score just 31 runs in five innings versus the Aussies in the current edition of the BGT. 
According to the news report of Times of India, the top officials of thr BCCI and the National Team selectors have already talked to Rohit and it looks like the 'Hitman' will not be changing his decision of retiring. While the date of his retirement has not been revealed yet, some news reports suggest that the 37-year-old will be taking the tough decision after the conclusion of the Sydney Test-Match. 
If the two time WTC runners-up manage to qualify for the 2023-25 WTC Final, then Rohit can carry on as the captain of the team for some more time and he will most likely have a discussion with the selectors regarding staying on as the skipper. 
Following the team's defeat in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test, the Indian captain was deeply hurt by the defeat. On one hand, elite seamer Jasprit Bumrah has single handedly dismissed Australian batters 30 times in the ongoing series while Rohit on the other hand, has managed to amass just 31 runs. It's possible that the retirement of the 'Hitman' is not that far but he won't be moving away from Red-ball Cricket without fighting back in the Sydney Test-Match.
<h2>What did Indian Captain Rohit Sharma say following the team's embarrassing defeat in Melbourne? </h2>
The Indian Team fell to an embarrassing 184 runs defeat in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match versus the Australians and this defeat meant that the home team have taken a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. After the defeat, Skipper Rohit Sharma that there are many things that are not happening according to his wishes. He also said that this defeat is mentally disturbing. 
"It's evident that we have had a few unfavorable-outcomes, and as captain, I find this disheartening. Many of the things I'm attempting to do as a batter are not working out and it's upsetting to the mind," the Indian captain said.

Reportedly, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has decided to retire from Test Cricket and the announcement is likely to be made by the BCCI after the end of the Sydney Test-Match versus the Australians.

Team India: Captain Rohit Sharma decides to retire from Tests, BCCI likely to make an announcement soon

team-india-captain-rohit-sharma-decides-to-retire-from-tests-bcci-likely-to-make-an-announcement-soon

Team India are all set to face Australia in the fifth and final test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. This clash will be played between January 3-7 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. India have been going through a transition period, and they are trying their best to survive in the World Test Championship.
Not just this, India are on the verge of losing the BGT trophy for the first time since 2014. This will add salt to their wounds as the WTC final is also on the line. However, just hours ahead of the start of the fifth test, the Indian camp dropped a bombshell.
The Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who is going through a rough patch, has been dropped from the playing XI, and Jasprit Bumrah will lead the visitors in the SCG test. This has come as massive news for Indian fans, as there have been some rumours about Rohit Sharma's retirement from test cricket.
<h2>List of Indian Captains to be dropped from playing XI midway through the series</h2>
Rohit Sharma has been going through a tough run. He has scored only 164 runs in the last 8 tests and scored the 50-run mark only once. His form has certainly made a big difference in India's poor run in Test cricket for the last couple of months. India lost their first-ever home test series since 2012 and suffered a series defeat.
Rohit missed the first test in Perth, and Bumrah led India to a tremendous win. The Indian captain joined the team in the second test. He has scored 32 runs in three tests at an average of 6.20. His poor run raises questions on his place as India dropped Shubman Gill from the team in the fourth test.
But now, Rohit is likely to be dropped from the playing XI for the fifth test. The Indian captain wasn't even fully involved in the practice sessions in Sydney. But if he misses the fifth test, it will be a historic moment in Indian cricket history. It is because this is the first time that an Indian captain has been dropped from a playing XI in the midway through the international series.
And this is the first occurrence since 2014 that a captain has had to sit out in an international series. Last time it was Misbah-ul-Haq who decided to sit out from the third ODI against Australia, and Shahid Afridi replaced him as captain. If we look at the history, England's Mike Denness was the first captain to decide to sit out during the fourth Test of the Ashes 1974.

Rohit Sharma to be dropped from 5th Test: List of Indian Captains to be dropped midway through a series

The fifth and final test between India and Australia started on Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The first day has completed, but the biggest story is the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma. The 37-year-old opted to sit out for the final test, and Jasprit Bumrah led in his absence.
His decision has raised concerns over his future in the Indian test team as he is also going through a very bad phase with the bat. However, according to some media reports, Rohit has played his last test for India at the MCG and might not return in white. The report from Indian Express indicates that selectors are looking beyond Rohit in test cricket.
There are chances that the Indian captain might announce his retirement after the ongoing SCG test. If it happens, India need someone to bat at the top or replace him. Here we will talk about three possible replacements for Rohit Sharma in tests.
<h2>Three Players who can replace Rohit Sharma in whites if he retires after the SCG test</h2>
1. Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill started as an opener in tests but shifted to no. 3 after India dropped Cheteshwar Pujara. But his numbers at no. 3 haven't done justice to his decision. India might need someone solid at the top, and Gill presents that technique. He can shift to the top of the order if Rohit retires from tests. He will give India a right-hand and left-hand option at the top with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
2. Abhimanyu Easwaran
Just like many Indian stars, Abhimanyu Easwaran is another name that has been knocking on the door of the Indian test side for the last couple of years now. He has been included in the squad many times but is still looking to get his maiden cap. He is a prolific scorer at the domestic level and is a gifted top-order batter. If given a chance, he can be a solid top-order batter. India can groom him into a good option to replace Rohit Sharma.
3. Nitish Kumar Reddy
This could be an out-of-the-box choice, but Nitish Kumar Reddy has certainly shown great composure for India in the ongoing BGT series. He has scored 294 runs at an average of 42 and is the third highest scorer in the series. He has shown that he has good technique to handle the bounce and pace. Currently, Reddy batting at no. 8 is not ideal for a talented batter like him. Just like Sam Konstas for Australia, he can be a fearless top-order batter if given a chance.

Rohit Sharma was dropped from the playing XI for the fifth and final test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

3-players-who-can-replace-rohit-sharma-at-the-top-if-he-announces-his-retirement-after-the-scg-test

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of the Indian Cricket team, is under criticism on social media again after dismissing for cheap in the India vs England first ODI at Vidharbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur.
The explosive opener, known for his ability to take apart bowling attacks, was dismissed for just 2 runs, raising serious concerns about his form. Fans and critics alike have taken to social media, questioning whether the ‘Hitman’ still has what it takes to lead the Indian batting lineup.
Rohit’s recent struggles are not limited to this match. His performances in the last 16 innings have been inconsistent, with only one noteworthy innings. While he played some decent knocks against Sri Lanka in August 2024, his form took a sudden dip, and he has failed to make a significant impact ever since.
His dismissal against England, when he attempted an aggressive shot off Saqib Mahmood, only added to the growing concerns. However, his ODI form in the table doesn't look bad. Below is the table of his 10 innings in the ODI:

<h2>What’s Next for Rohit Sharma?</h2>
Despite his poor run, Rohit has been a match-winner for India in the past. He has seen ups and downs throughout his career, and if history is anything to go by, he could still bounce back. However, time is running out, and fans are eagerly waiting for the ‘Hitman’ to silence his critics with his bat. Will he turn things around, or is this truly the beginning of the end? Only time will tell.
With crucial tournaments like the Champions Trophy ahead, selectors may have some tough decisions to make. He has been a frontrunner in India's runs chart, and the BCCI can afford more chances for him. His future in Test cricket is already under speculation, and with young talents emerging, the pressure on him has never been higher.
<h2>Social Media Backlash</h2>
As soon as Rohit walked back to the pavilion, social media erupted with criticism. Frustrated fans questioned his place in the squad, pointing out that he has crossed the 50-run mark just once in his last sixteen innings. Memes, debates, and heated discussions flooded Twitter and Instagram, with some even calling for a change in captaincy. While a few loyal supporters backed him to return to form, the majority seemed unconvinced.

Rohit Sharma Finished? Social Media Heat over His Future Amid Poor Form

In what has been the latest development, as per the reports in PTI, it is learned that the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could be the last game for Rohit Sharma in the ODIs. The match will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (9th March). 
The reports claimed that if India wins the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, then Rohit Sharma will be calling his retirement right away just as he did in the T20Is after the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. But, if India loses against New Zealand, then there could be a delay in his retirement. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma will be playing till December to announce his ODI retirement if india loses ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
It is learned that if India loses the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, then Rohit Sharma will be playing till December to announce his ODI retirement. After the ongoing tournament, India is scheduled to play against Bangladesh and Australia away from home before playing South Africa at home. 
The series against South Africa could be his last. The reports claimed that Rohit Sharma deliberately didn’t come out to attend the press conference as he wanted to avoid the questions related to his retirement. Hence, vice-captain Shubman Gill walked out but mentioned that there hadn't been any discussions in the dressing room about his retirement. 
If Rohit Sharma wins the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as a skipper, he will become only the second captain after MS Dhoni to win both the T20 World Cup as well as the Champions Trophy. The senior opener would be keen to lead from the front and take his team to glory. 
Rohit Sharma hasn't fired yet with the bat in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The batter has provided his team with the starts in the tournament but hasn't been able to convert the starts that he has had. With the title on the line, he would be keen to bring his best with the bat.

RCB extended their dominance in away games with a fourth straight win, chasing down RR's 173 comfortably. Phil Salt's explosive 65 and Virat Kohli's 100th T20 fifty led the charge, while RR's bowling faltered despite Kumar Kartikeya's lone breakthrough. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel helped RR post a competitive total, but RCB's strong batting sealed the win, handing RR their fourth consecutive loss.
