Despite BCCI Secretary’s ‘No’, the heartbeats of the fans are fast! These 3 gestures of Rohit Sharma created a stir, is retirement near?
The BCCI Secretary may have tried to put an end to the speculations regarding the future of Indian cricket’s ‘Hitman’ Rohit Sharma, but there is silence in the corridors of cricket. Apart from official statements, Rohit Sharma’s recent activities and changes in his approach towards the game have left millions of his fans thinking. Even though BCCI is saying that everything is normal, but these 3 big signs are pointing towards the fact that Rohit Sharma is probably at the last stage of his international career. Fans are now worried about whether their favorite player is going to take any big decision soon. 1. Frequent breaks and increasing distances from important series: In recent times, Rohit Sharma’s frequent breaks from big matches and important series has become a cause of concern for the fans. Earlier it was being called workload management, but now the discussion is in full swing whether this break is only to remove fatigue or is Rohit gradually distancing himself from the game? His absence from the team in the last few months has raised the question whether ‘Hitman’ now wants to focus only on big tournaments? 2. Body language on the field and signs of body fatigue: In the recent few matches, a strange pause and sometimes fatigue has been clearly seen in the body language of Rohit Sharma. A change is being felt in the energy that is expected from him while fielding. The seriousness seen in his expressions on the field and in his discussions with his teammates is reminiscent of the times experienced players face when they are on the verge of retirement. The eyes of the fans are on his every step and this ‘peace’ is scaring him to the core. 3. Future planning and ‘handover’ of captaincy. The third and biggest gesture is to speed up the process of handing over the command to the young players in the team. The way Rohit Sharma is guiding the young players and giving them the freedom to play freely, it is like the atmosphere just before the farewell of a ‘legend’. Cricket experts believe that Rohit Sharma is no longer limiting his role to just scoring runs, rather he is on a mission to prepare the coming generation. When a player starts worrying more about the future of the team than himself, then it should be understood that he is preparing for his last innings. Even after BCCI’s clarification, these three gestures are no less than an ‘alarm’ for Rohit Sharma’s fans.
