Rohit Sharma Set To Be Sacked As Indian Test Captain Ahead Of England Tour: Report

Indian cricket is abuzz with news that Rohit Sharma might be removed as the Test captain of Team India. According to reports, the decision to oust Sharma comes after a poor run in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 series, which Team India lost 1-3. The selectors are said to be looking for a new leader to take the team forward into the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–27 cycle.

Rohit Sharma's recent struggles with form have raised serious concerns about his leadership and batting abilities. Although he performed well during India's 2021 tour of England, scoring 368 runs at an average of 52.57, his recent performances have been underwhelming.

The potential change in leadership comes as India embarks on a new WTC cycle, and the team will be looking to bounce back from recent setbacks. With a new leader at the helm, India might see a shift in strategy and approach, potentially bringing in fresh perspectives and ideas.
