The Indian cricket team had to face 1-3 defeat in the five-match Test series against Australia. Due to this defeat, Team India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) after 10 years. Besides, the Indian team was also out of the race for the final in the current cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC). Therefore, BCCI had organized a review meeting in Mumbai on Saturday, January 11. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir were also present in the meeting. During this, Rohit expressed his desire to remain the captain in Test and ODI. He has said that he wants to keep the command of the team with himself for the next 2-3 months.
During the review meeting, Rohit Sharma has asked BCCI to think about the future of Team India. He has said that he will captain in both the formats until the next selected captain is selected. They will fully support the player who will be selected in his place. Rohit Sharma has made it clear in his statement what his future holds. It is possible that the Champions Trophy could be his last tournament as the captain of the Indian team. India's future will be decided based on its performance in this tournament. Let us tell you that after this, in June, Team India is going to tour England for a 5-match test series.
Performance was nothing special in BGT
Captain Rohit Sharma's performance on the Australia tour was not anything special and he could score only 31 runs in five innings at an average of 6.20. Due to poor form, captain Rohit Sharma had decided to stay out of the Sydney Test. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah took over the captaincy. However, despite his absence, India also lost the Sydney Test.
Bumrah will be the captain?
According to media reports, the name of the team's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been proposed in the review meeting. There is talk of making him the captain after Rohit Sharma. However, he is currently suffering from a back injury. Due to swelling in his waist, he has also been out of the group matches of the Champions Trophy. He has been instructed to report to NCA for rehab. Even before this, injury has been a big problem for him. Therefore BCCI is very cautious about his workload. It is believed that other names may also have been discussed.
