End of an Era: Rohit Sharma Retires from Test Cricket
India's cricket captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket. However, he will continue to play One-Day Internationals, where he has excelled. Rohit, who led India to significant victories, leaves Test cricket with notable achievements, including 4,301 runs in 67 matches.
In a surprising move, India's cricket captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket, marking the end of an illustrious career in the five-day format of the game. Despite this, the 38-year-old batsman plans to continue showcasing his skills in One-Day Internationals, a format where he has historically excelled.
Rohit, who took over the captaincy in India's Test team, has been a pivotal player with a career total of 4,301 runs, including 12 centuries. However, his recent performance in Test matches showed a dip, leading to this decision, including stepping down from a crucial match against Australia earlier this year.
Having already quit Twenty20 Internationals, Rohit remains a stalwart in limited-overs cricket, holding the record for the highest individual score in ODIs. His leadership in bringing India to the finals of the 2023 World Cup and winning the Champions Trophy this year is fondly remembered by fans and fellow players.
