Across formats, Rohit Sharma averaged just 31.18 in 40 innings in 2024. In comparison, he averaged 48 the year before.
Rohit Sharma is in a massive form rut. His issues are for the whole world to see. Amid a lack of runs and India cricket losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade, there were calls for the Indian captain to step down and even retire from Test cricket.
Rohit has decided he won’t hang up his boots in the longest format. But former Australian captain Adam Gilchrist feels that his poor form will have an effect on his career across his career. “I don’t see Rohit going to England,” Gilchrist said on the Club Prairie Fire podcast.
“I just felt that he says he will assess it when he gets home. I mean, the first thing he will be met with when he gets home is a two-month-old baby that he has to change the nappies on. Now that might incentivise him to go to England. But I don’t see him pressing on,” Gilchrist added, referring to the birth of Rohit’s second child just before the tour of Australia.
“I think he’ll probably have a crack at the Champions Trophy and that might be…that might see him out,” said Gilchrist.
