Rohit Sharma's 'embarrassing' struggle against part-timer Padikkal sparks concerns, fans says, 'he is in the endgame'

Hindustan Times  

Concerns around India captain Rohit Sharma's form increased further ahead of the start of the fourth Test match against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after a footage of the 37-year-old struggling against part-time bowler Devdutt Padikkal went viral on social media. India's Rohit Sharma walks off the field after his dismissal by Australia's bowler Pat Cummins The ongoing tour of Australia has been a forgettable campaign for Rohit so far. Earlier last week, following another disappointing knock against Australia, by Pat Cummins in Brisbane, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar reckoned Rohit will step down as the Test captain if his poor run of form continues in the final two matches of the series. "How much of this decision is planned, voluntary, or subtly influenced is difficult to determine, but the Indian team is expected to undergo a transformation soon - possibly by the start of their next Test series in England in the coming summer of 2025… It is unlikely that anyone would openly admit it was a nudge, but there is a perception that this announcement is just the first in a series expected to follow - much like in 2008, when several senior players retired in quick succession.
