Delhi: Team India captain Rohit Sharma once again managed to disappoint the fans with his batting. Australia had set a target of 340 runs for India in the Melbourne Test, and it was expected that Rohit Sharma would accept this challenge. However, Rohit Sharma could score only 9 runs in 40 balls in the second innings of Melbourne Test and was out. He was caught by Mitchell Marsh on a brilliant ball from Australian captain Pat Cummins.

Rohit flopped in both innings
Rohit Sharma’s performance in both the innings of Melbourne Test was very disappointing. He scored only 3 runs in the first innings and could score only 9 runs in the second innings. After his disappointing performance, fans trolled him fiercely on social media. Many fans even said that Rohit Sharma should retire from Test. Some fans even called Australia’s Nathan Lyon a better batsman than Rohit Sharma, because Lyon scored more runs in the Melbourne Test than Rohit Sharma did in the entire series.
Congratulations Rohit Sharma for your amazing testing career…
Happy Retirement, your services will be missed🥲 pic.twitter.com/G94eOWBMqS

Retirement pressure increased
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India faced a 3-0 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand on its own soil in October-November this year. After this defeat, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy does not seem to have the same edge as before. His batting performance is also continuously deteriorating. In the current Border Gavaskar Test Series, Rohit Sharma has scored only 31 runs in 5 innings. During this period he has scored 3, 6, 10, 3 and 9 runs.
Rohit Sharma again disappoints 💔!!

Rohit’s career is in danger
It has now become difficult for India to make it to the final of the World Test Championship next year. If India fails to make it to the finals of this tournament, then serious questions may be raised on Rohit Sharma’s career. If India does not reach the final of WTC 2025, then apart from Rohit Sharma retiring from Test cricket, he may also lose the ODI captaincy.
