Should Rohit Sharma continue playing international cricket?
Legendary Australia captain Steve Waugh feels that it’s a puzzle to which only Rohit holds the key to.
The India Test and ODI captain has been facing the heat for his ordinary form in red-ball cricket with questions being raised about his future. India will begin their next ICC World Test Championship cycle with the tour of England in June this year and it’s anybody’s guess if Rohit will continue to lead the side in the longest format of the game.
In his past 15 innings in Test cricket, Rohit has scored just one half-century and it’s a run that saw him dropping himself from India’s playing XI for the Sydney Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year in January. India lost the five-match series 1-3.
Waugh says Rohit needs to have a talk with himself and assess whether he feels committed enough to go through the rigours of international cricket.
“It is totally up to him,” Waugh told PTI. “He is the only one who can solve that problem. He has got to look himself in the mirror and say, do I still want to be captain or play for India? Am I committed? Am I putting enough time and effort into it? It is a privilege and an honour to play for your country. You can’t be complacent or relax.”
Rohit is currently representing Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL 2025 where after a poor start, the opener finally roared back into form with a sparkling fifty against Chennai Super Kings last Sunday.
