Major Update On Rohit Sharma's Captaincy: Report Says "Modest Outings..."

Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian cricket team in the upcoming Test series against England despite his poor show in Australia, according to a report by PTI. "Rohit Sharma is expected to lead the India senior team in England despite his modest outings and two Test series defeats against New Zealand and Australia," the report claimed. Rohit had a horrible outing in Australia where he scored just 31 runs in 3 matches and even decided to drop himself for the final Test encounter in Sydney. However, the selectors are expected to not remove him from captaincy following India's Champions Trophy 2025 triumph.
