Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah and Virat Kohli
Rohit Sharma recently said goodbye to Test cricket. Rohit retired from T20i cricket last year. After saying goodbye to 2 formats, Rohit will now be seen playing ODI cricket only for Team India. Hitman announced his retirement at a time when Team India has to visit England next month.
After Rohit’s retirement, Virat Kohli’s test is expected to retire. Indian Express has made this claim in one of its reports. According to the report, Virat Kohli, the star batsman of the Indian cricket team, has told BCCI that he wants to retire from Test cricket before the Test series against England, but top officials have asked him to rethink his decision.
Big challenge in front of selectors
According to media reports, the selectors will hold a meeting in a few days to decide the team for the five -match Test series against England and if both Virat and Rohit are not available, they will have a big challenge. The report further claimed that Kohli has been considering retirement since the end of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he was criticized due to his disappointing performance.
Sources from Indian Express said that they have made up their minds and informed the board that they are going to say goodbye to Test cricket. BCCI has urged them to reconsider it, as England is going to have an important visit. He has not yet responded to this request.
Virat’s bat did not go on a tour of Australia
Significantly, Team India played their last Test series in Australia. On the tour of Australia, Team India lost 1-3 in the 5-match Test series. On this tour, Virat could not do anything special with the bat, leaving a match. At the same time, Rohit Sharma had to sit out in the 5th Test due to poor form. After this, there was speculation about Rohit’s retirement. However, he did not announce retirement then, but surprised everyone by announcing retirement about 45 days before the England tour.
