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.

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.
