The big question in Indian cricket is whether Rohit Sharma will continue to play Test cricket. India is set to visit England for the 5-observance series in June and Rohit’s recent record in Test cricket has been poor. He struggled on a tour of Australia, averaged just 6.20 in 5 innings and also dropped himself for a test. At home last year against New Zealand at home, in the test series, he took an average of just 15.16 in three tests.
But it is clear that Rohit intends to play the test series in England. He had already indicated in a chat with Michael Clarke a few weeks ago, where he talked about his expectation that Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah would be both hurt-free and fresh for the England series.
In a latest chat, he talked about the England series and also told about his Test batting career in general.
Rohit said in a conversation on journalist Vimli Kumar’s YouTube channel, “I haven’t thought much about the tour of England yet. IPL is running now. We want to win IPL. My thoughts are about it. I have said earlier, what is happening now, focus on what is happening now.”
Rohit is 40.57 from an average of 67 tests. It becomes 31.01 in tests outside India. It is an average of 24.38 in trials in Australia and 16.63 in trials in South Africa, but the average is an average of 44.66 in trials in England, where India plays further. As a opener, he averages almost the same (44.54) in trials in England.
When asked if he was satisfied with his overall performance in Test cricket-the obvious context is that he has done much better in white-ball cricket, Rohit replaced the philosopher.
“As long as you play a game, you will not be happy with the performance! I am happy that instead of thinking about what God has given me, what you have given me, it is written in fate – you will get this amount. Whatever you do, I am going to get it only. I am not only going to be a hyper critical with Test cricket. I am happy, I am happy, I am happy.”

“You don’t have to live to maintain the expectations of other people; what is this about you. What the world thinks. It hopes that they are not part of my journey. Nobody knows how I have dealt with training, have handled the ups and downs in my life, no one knows about your close insuits. I do not have unreal expectations, I do not have an expectation, and this is easy, and this is my expectation, and this is easy, and this is my expectation, and this is my expectation, and this is my expectation.
In the last two years, he has taken India to the final of the ODI World Cup in 2023, and won the Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup. But on the negative side, he was the captain when New Zealand achieved a historic whitewash, winning all three tests in India, and also led the team in Australia, where they lost 1-3.
Asked if the pressure of captaincy and recent criticism has affected his personality, Rohit said: “I have understood the system: When you do well, the response is very high and when you do not do well. The agenda.
