Rohit Sharma Retirement: The career of Rohit Sharma, the current captain of India’s Test and ODI team, seems to be hanging in the balance. Under his captaincy, Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024, but after that the form of ‘Hitman’ has been continuously declining. His place in the Indian squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 seems to be confirmed as he is going to hold a press conference with Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar on January 18, in which Team India will be announced. Now a former cricketer has said that Rohit has only 5 months left to save his career.
While discussing a show, former Indian cricketer Deepdas Gupta said, “It would be better if Rohit and Virat are not paired together. This has been happening in Indian cricket in the past too, when Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid used to play, their performance was judged. “Assessment was done separately.”

Deepdas Gupta further said that the next 5 months will be very important for Rohit Sharma’s career. He said, “The next 5 months will be very important for Rohit Sharma’s white ball cricket and IPL career. His performance in these tournaments will tell a lot. Apart from this, first-class cricket form, fitness level and performance in the Champions Trophy.” “Will also matter a lot. The final decision will be in the hands of the selectors.”
Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is already under threat because under him India has lost 5 out of the last 6 tests. First, the 0-3 defeat at the hands of New Zealand was disappointing, after that, Rohit led Team India in three matches against Australia, out of which it lost 2 matches and one match was drawn. Rohit Sharma’s form is a matter of concern because in the last 15 innings he has scored runs at an average of only 10.93.
