Rohit Sharma is coming under criticism after being whitewashed at home by New Zealand in the Test. There are also questions about his captaincy. Former Indian captain Krishnamachari Srikanth feels that Rohit may retire from Tests if the team does not do well in Australia. So Srikanth emphasized the plan to choose Rohit's successor.
Rohit retired from the shorter format after leading India to the T20 World Cup in June. But the 37-year-old is struggling with form in Tests. After the 3-0 home series loss to New Zealand, Rohit admitted his failure as a captain. In this situation, to go to the final of the Test Championship, Australia will have to win 4 out of 5 Tests. On top of that, Rohit may not be available in the opening match. Therefore, Srikanth said to think in advance on the issue of leadership. He said on his YouTube channel, 'You have to think ahead. If Rohit Sharma doesn't do well, I think Rohit himself will retire from Tests. You know this very well.'
Since Rohit has already retired from T20. Srikanth thinks that he will play ODIs for now, 'He may only play ODIs. As he has already retired from T20. It should be remembered that Rohit is getting old.'
Rohit scored 4,270 runs at an average of 42.27 in Test cricket. His recent form is the talk. Only one half-century in the last 10 innings. There are 6 single digit scores! Against the Kiwis, he created danger by playing luxury shots at important moments.
