India captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday, May 7, ahead of India’s Test cricket tour, which starts on June 20, against England.
The Hitman announced his decision via his Instagram account with a picture of his Test cap along with a text, saying he will continue to represent India in ODI cricket.
Rohit Sharma, who had earlier announced his retirement from T20Is after the 2024 T20 World Cup, has now officially stepped away from Test cricket as well, putting an end to ongoing speculation about his future in the longest format.
This decision comes in the wake of his underwhelming performance during the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
