The recent performance of the Indian team has been very poor. After T20 World Cup 2024, the performance of the Indian team has been declining. Rohit's captaincy also resulted in defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka did not win even a single match in the series. Even after this, India had to face a 0-3 defeat at home in the India-New Zealand Test series. After this defeat, there was criticism from all sides but no change was seen in the Indian team. After this, Australia faced India 1-3 series defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
After the defeat against Australia, there is to be an ODI series and Champions Trophy between India and England. BCCI meeting was also held in which tough decisions were taken and many players including captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir participated. In this meeting, a decision has also been taken regarding senior players. In this sequence, Rohit Sharma's captaincy was discussed and Rohit gave his decision on it. Now the blame may fall on Rohit, who is already 37 years old.
According to the report, BCCI officials have left the responsibility of taking the decision on Rohit and Kohli to Agarkar and his team. A source told Hindustan Times,
“This does not mean that Rohit's statement 'I am not going anywhere' will ultimately prove to be correct. The selectors are worried about Rohit's declining graph in Tests, but it is understood that at present no decision will be taken on captaincy. Rohit himself will take a right decision.”
In this way, Rohit can now be seen captaining Team India for only 2 months. After the Champions Trophy, he himself can take further decisions. However, Jasprit Bumrah is being considered for the captaincy after Rohit.
In view of the declining performance of Virat Kohli, the decision has been left to the selectors. In such a situation, there is a problem and Virat Kohli's successor Shubman Gill is not yet fully formed. Before Sachin's retirement, Virat was ready to take his place, hence the decision can be taken only after stopping at Kohli.
