Sachin Tendulkar: After Team India’s crushing defeat against New Zealand, now veteran players from Indian cricket may soon retire. New Zealand destroyed the team’s poor performance and its undefeated record at home for 12 years. This player has been struggling with poor form for some time now, due to which he may retire after playing the Test match against New Zealand in Mumbai.
Rohit Sharma can retire
Let us tell you that the player whose retirement is being reported is Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma has not only had a bad time with the bat but he is also continuously making mistakes in captaincy, due to which the New Zealand team has been successful in winning the series.
Rohit Sharma’s Test form has been bad since last year but due to his scoring some runs at a fast pace, he was left out due to what was termed ‘aggressive intent’. Because Team India was winning the match because of lower order. But as soon as Team India had to face defeat in this series, the poor form of all the players started becoming visible to everyone.
There is something missing in Rohit’s captaincy as well due to which he may retire. Rohit Sharma had performed well for Team India in the T20 World Cup last year and this year but his poor form in Tests continues.
Rohit Sharma’s bad form continues
If we talk about Rohit Sharma’s statistics in Test this year, he has scored 559 runs at an average of 31.05 in 19 innings of 10 matches played in Test this year. In which he scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries. Whereas if we look at Rohit Sharma’s last 8 innings, he has scored only 104 runs. In which his average is only 13.
Seeing this poor form, Rohit Sharma can take a big decision and announce his retirement. If Rohit Sharma retires after this match, it will be good for him because Mumbai is Rohit Sharma’s home ground and not everyone gets a chance to play farewell match in their home ground. Sachin also played his last match in Mumbai 11 years ago.
