However, he is hopeful that he will be fit for the Boxing-Day Test match starting on 26 December.

The series was not special for Rohit
The last few test matches have not been good for Rohit Sharma. His batting was lackluster in the matches played against Bangladesh and New Zealand, and he did not play big innings in the two Test matches in Australia too. Now the next two matches are very important for him, not only as a player, but also as a captain.
If the bat does not work then a big decision will have to be taken
If his performance is not good in these coming two matches, then the question may arise whether he will have to decide to retire from Test cricket. Because if India loses, then their hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship may end. For India to move ahead, it is necessary to win both these matches, and for this, Rohit’s bat will also be necessary.
