The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) website is currently down, fueling widespread speculation about a major announcement. Rumors are circulating that Indian captain Rohit Sharma might announce his retirement following the next match. Fans are anxiously wondering if the BCCI is preparing to break significant news that could leave everyone stunned. With the cricketing world abuzz, all eyes are on the BCCI of what could potentially be a game-changing update.
Rohit Sharma to get dropped?
The Indian captain has been enduring a prolonged rough patch with the bat, and with India’s qualification for the World Test Championship under threat, his captaincy is also facing criticism. Speculation is rife that Rohit Sharma might be left out of the next match, given India’s need for balance and his current poor form. Notably, in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025, where Rohit was absent, India secured their only victory in the series so far.
Will Rohit Sharma wait for WTC final?
As captain, Rohit Sharma has led India to a T20I World Cup victory, with the next goal being a win in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. However, India’s qualification for the WTC final remains challenging as they must win their next match and rely on Australia losing their upcoming games. If India fails to qualify, Rohit might consider ending his Test career to make way for emerging young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, who have been excelling in red-ball cricket.
