Rohit Sharma is reportedly contemplating retirement after the fifth and final Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). The Indian captain has been constant subject to criticism due to his barren run with the bat in the past few series. The development comes in after India loss against Australia in the fourth Test by 184 runs.  

With fate not in India’s hands in the race for World Test Championship (WTC) final, the outcome of the fifth and final Test between India and Australia in Sydney could well decide Rohit’s future. 

Based on a TOI report, rumours are floating among the the BCCI top brass about Rohit’s replacement as captain. It also stated that Rohit is trying to convince the selectors to allow him play till the WTC final if in case India reach the summit clash. Notably, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar too is in Australia with the team.  

However, chances of India qualifying for the final look slim as they have to win in Sydney and hope Sri Lanka beat Australia 2-0 at home. The loss in Melbourne was India’s fifth in last six Tests under Rohit’s captaincy. India drew against Australia in Brisbane.
