Indian captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday. This decision of Rohit came out ahead of India's tour of England next month. But he will continue to play 50-over cricket.
Rohit has played 67 Tests for India. In that he has scored 4 thousand 301 runs. It includes 12 centuries. Among them, his highest personal score is 212. He made this in 2019 against South Africa.
His average is above 40. "Being able to represent India in Test cricket is a great honor in itself," 38-year-old Rohit wrote on Instagram. He has added to it, 'Thank you to everyone for the love and support towards me for so many years.'
Rohit has already retired from Twenty-20 cricket. After winning the World Cup in Barbados last year, along with Virat Kohli, Rohit also announced that he would not play Twenty20 cricket for the national team.
Under the leadership of Rohit, India also won the ODI Champions Trophy in Dubai. India is playing a five-Test series against England in June-July. The team will need a new captain. Rohit last played a Test against Australia in Melbourne last year. India was defeated by 184 runs.
Rohit did not participate in the final and fifth Test in Sydney. He was going through a bad batting streak at that time. India lost that match too. Bhatar lost the five-test series 2-1. Rohit could score only 31 runs in 5 innings. At that time, there was increasing pressure on him to retire from Test cricket.
He started his Test cricket journey from 2013. Even in Tests, he is a successful player in maintaining his aggressive style. He also took the captaincy of the Indian team from Kohli.
