May 21, 2023, 7:07 PM2 min read

On Monday, Rohit Sharma was sent back to the dressing room on a duck by Trent Boult at Wankhede.

In any form of cricket, one thing that a batsman doesn't like is getting out for a duck. It is also a fact in T20 cricket and IPL. There are some instances when a player gets nervous in the first few balls and often goes to the pavilion without scoring a run in such cases. That is one of the reasons why players get relief when they get their first run of the innings.

It is difficult for BCCI to bring back foreign players

Players will start playing for the country

If the IPL resumes at the end of May, most of the foreign players will be able to return. The teams believe so. If these matches are played after May 25, it will be difficult for the players to return. The biggest reason for this is that many players will be playing for their national team then.

The final of the World Test Championship (WTC) is also scheduled to be held between the Australia and the South Africa at Lord's from June 11.

Starting the tournament is not easy

BCCI has kept all three grounds ready. Despite this, officials believe that it will not be easy to restart this competition now. All the teams were informed about this on Friday without any formal announcement. People from many teams are saying that all the remaining matches can be held at the end of the year.

Punjab-Delhi match had to be canceled midway

On the night of 8 May at around 8.30 pm, Pakistan attacked the borders of Jammu, Punjab and Rajasthan of India with missiles and drones. During this time, a match was being played between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. It had to be stopped midway.

Gujarat on top, 3 teams out of the playoffs race

By the time IPL 2025 was halted midway, 57 matches of the league stage had been completed. The 58th match was halted midway. After 57 matches, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore had the highest points in the points table with 16-16 points.

GT remained on top due to better run rate. Punjab was third, Mumbai fourth and Delhi fifth. Whereas Chennai, Rajasthan and Hyderabad teams were out of the playoff race.

The sudden announcement of Rohit Sharma's tests retirement marks the end of an era for Indian cricket. His journey in this format has evolved the years, from being a middle-order batsman to a dominant captain to open for his nation. 

This transformation defines his Test legacy that we have witnessed over the years. It is now time to look back at those times and numbers; check out Rohit Sharma stats in tests.

The Initial Chapter (2013-2018)

In November 2013, during Sachin Tendulkar's farewell series, Rohit Sharma made his Test debut at Eden Gardens in Kolkata against the West Indies, scoring 177, the second highest score in an Indian debut behind Shikhar Dhawan (187).

He followed with 111 (not out) in the second test at his home ground, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. However, he couldn’t find constant form in the longest format and could only score only one Test hundred after that, before he was promoted as an opener in a series against South Africa in 2019.

The Test series against South Africa in 2019 turned out to be a memorable one for Rohit as he went on to score three hundreds in three matches, including his maiden double hundred in Tests. His promotion as an opening batter in this format, gradually started to show brilliant outcomes.

Rohit's highest score in Test cricket came against South Africa in October 2019 in Ranchi where he scored 212 (255) runs hitting 28 fours and six sixes. He also scored his first overseas test century against England in 2021, with a knock of 127 runs at the Oval.

His contributions in this format were at its peak when he was appointed as the captain of India in the Test format in February 2022. He succeeded the former captain, Virat Kohli, ahead of a series against Sri Lanka.

The Final Blow

In his recent Test appearances, particularly during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia in late 2024 and early 2025, Rohit Sharma struggled to find his usual form. His performances in this crucial series, which also had impact on India's standing in the WTC cycle, saw a major dip in his batting average.

Across the matches, he recorded several low scores in contrast to his earlier success as a top-order batsman in the format. This raised concerns about his form leading into the ending stage of the WTC and ultimately preceded his retirement announcement.
