Breaking News: Is This Rohit Sharma’s Last ICC Event? Reports Suggest a Major Shift
Rohit Sharma’s Future in Indian Cricket Under Question
For the past few months, Rohit Sharma’s performance has been under scrutiny. While he recently scored a century against England in his second ODI match, his inconsistency has sparked debates. In the following match, he was dismissed for just one run, further fueling speculations about his future in international cricket. Critics have been vocal about whether he should step down from captaincy, especially in Test cricket.
Now, fresh reports indicate a major shake-up in Indian cricket, suggesting that Jasprit Bumrah could soon replace Rohit Sharma as the Test captain.
Jasprit Bumrah as India’s Future Test Captain?
According to sources, one of the biggest reasons why Jasprit Bumrah was not risked for the Champions Trophy was that the Indian team management sees him as a key figure for the future of Test cricket. Though his latest medical scans did not show any serious concerns, he still needs time to regain full fitness.
Reports claim that Bumrah is a leading contender for Test captaincy, but he will take some time before making a full return. If everything goes as planned, he might first come back for Mumbai Indians in the IPL before taking up the leadership role for the Indian team in England.
This means Rohit Sharma is unlikely to be picked for future Test matches. However, there is no official confirmation yet.
Aakash Chopra’s Bold Statement on Rohit, Virat & Jadeja
Cricket expert Aakash Chopra has made a bold statement regarding Rohit Sharma’s future. He not only questioned Rohit’s role but also hinted that this might be the last ICC event for Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja as well.
“I say this with a heavy heart, but there is a strong possibility that this is their last ICC event,” said Chopra. He added that after the ongoing Champions Trophy, another ICC event this year is the WTC Final, for which India has not yet qualified. If India doesn’t make it, none of these three—Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, or Ravindra Jadeja—will feature in that tournament.
What’s Next for Rohit Sharma?
The next ICC event after the Champions Trophy will be the T20 World Cup in 2024, but all three—Rohit, Virat, and Jadeja—have already retired from this format. The next ODI World Cup is scheduled for 2027, which is still a long way ahead. Given the evolving landscape of international cricket, it remains uncertain whether these players will continue until then.
Fans’ Reactions: Will They Play Until 2027?
With reports suggesting that Rohit Sharma might not be part of India’s future Test plans, fans are debating whether he, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja will stay in the ODI setup until 2027. Do you think they will make it to the next ODI World Cup, or is Aakash Chopra right in his assessment? Share your opinions in the comments!
