Future depends on Australia tour
The Indian team has to play the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Australia tour from November 22. Rohit Sharma's Test future depends on this series. If the Indian team wins this series and Rohit's bat continues to work, then he can remain the Test captain for some time. At the same time, if the Indian team loses this series then it is certain for Rohit to step down from the captaincy.
thinking about the future
According to sources, if Rohit Sharma fails as a captain and batsman on the Australia tour, then he may possibly retire from Test cricket. According to sources, Rohit is very disappointed with the defeat against New Zealand. He is thinking seriously not only about his captaincy but also about his Test cricket career. After the Australia tour, many big changes can be seen in the Test team.
age is also a hindrance
Rohit is 37 years old and after Australia, India has to play the next Test series against England in June 2025. At that time Rohit will be 38 years old. In such a situation, BCCI wants that now the command should go to such a player who can handle the Test captaincy for a long time.
Rohit Sharma's test career profile
21: Rohit captained India in the test
12: India won the tests, lost 07 and drew 02.
64: Total played test matches and scored 4270 runs

6 biggest defeats in India's home test series
These three names are at the forefront of the race
1. Rishabh Pant
27-year-old wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who has scored 2639 runs with 6 centuries in 38 Tests, is at the forefront of the race for Test captaincy after Rohit Sharma. He is in great form and his record is excellent. He is a regular member of the Test team and can captain the team for a long time.
2. Jasprit Bumrah
30-year-old Jasprit Bumrah was the vice-captain in the Test series against New Zealand, but he was rested in the third Test. The biggest problem with Bumrah is his fitness. However, if Rohit Sharma does not play in the first test against Australia due to personal reasons, then Bumrah will take charge of the team. He has previously captained in a Test. He has taken 173 wickets in 40 tests so far.
3. KL Rahul
KL Rahul, who captained India in three Tests, is once again in contention for captaincy. However, the biggest problem for Rahul is his poor form and due to this he has not been able to cement his place in the team yet. This 32-year-old player has so far scored 2981 runs in 53 tests with 8 centuries.
