Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket, passing the leadership baton to rising star Shubman Gill. This marks a pivotal moment for Indian cricket as a new generation prepares to lead.

Rohit Sharma Retires: Who will take over as the next India Test captain?

Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket, paving the way for Shubman Gill's leadership. This transition embodies a new era for Indian cricket, promising fresh dynamics in the team.

Who will take over as the next India Test captain

Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket, leaving a legacy of brilliance. Shubman Gill, at 25, is seen as the captaincy frontrunner, poised to lead India in the Test arena. This transition marks a new chapter for Indian cricket.

Rohit Sharma has officially stepped away from Test cricket- marking the end of a gritty, flair-filled chapter in Indian cricket.
Why did the &lsquo;HITMAN&rsquo; walk away from Tests? 
If the sources are to be believed, selectors had already discussed moving on from Rohit ahead of the five-match England series this June &mdash; India&rsquo;s first step in the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
The message from the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee was clear: it&rsquo;s time for a CHANGE.
Rohit&rsquo;s exit doesn&rsquo;t come as a shock to those who&rsquo;ve followed his recent red-ball form. Once feared for his effortless hand-eye coordination and &lsquo;stand and deliver&rsquo; strokeplay, the Hitman found himself battling fading reflexes and old technical gaps.
The short ball, which he used to pull for fun, started troubling him. Still, let&rsquo;s not forget the journey &mdash; over 4,300 Test runs, 12 centuries, and the remarkable switch from middle-order to elite opener.
His leadership brought calm, clarity, and some massive wins for Team India in the longer form of the game.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
As the 35th Indian Test captain, Rohit leaves behind a legacy shaped by style, grit, and determination.
While he&rsquo;ll still be lighting it up in ODIs, his red-ball goodbye was anything but bitter. It was classy. Vintage Rohit.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
But now, the big question: Who&rsquo;s next?
With Rohit out and Jasprit Bumrah battling a back injury that&rsquo;s already ruled him out of action for four months, including the Champions Trophy, India suddenly finds itself in a leadership void. Virat Kohli?
Doesn&rsquo;t seem likely. At 36 and amid a lean Test run, Kohli is keen to just focus on scoring runs, not taking on the weight of captaincy again.
All eyes, then, are on Shubman Gill
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/681c765b1acdf_1746695771.jpeg" width="337" height="189">
At 25, Gill is ticking all the boxes. consistent across all formats, vice-captain already, and currently captaining Gujarat Titans to the top of the IPL table.
The selectors see him as the long-term bet &mdash; a composed presence with a modern mindset and a batting record to back it up.
Will the baton be passed to him? Only time will tell, but he surely is a frontrunner.
Can Rishabh Pant be another choice? 
He remains a strong contender with his match-winning knocks in Tests and his involvement in on-field decision-making as the team&rsquo;s keeper.
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/681c76ba8f7be_1746695866.jpg" width="372" height="209">
&nbsp;
But he has yet to prove himself as a full-time leader.
The southpaw brings energy, aggression, and game-changing instincts, but when it comes to leadership, will the selectors trust him?
Given his all-format presence and recent elevation in the team hierarchy, Gill looks set to take over the red-ball reins ahead of Pant ..
Soon we will see a Gen Z-powered era in Indian Test cricket.

Shama Mohamed's critique of Rohit Sharma's physique and leadership prompted backlash and defense from Sunil Gavaskar. Congress distanced from the comments, highlighting the sensitivity of body image in sports as India faces Australia.

Sunil Gavaskar Slams Shama Mohamed For Controversial Remarks On Rohit Sharma

The criticism of Rohit Sharma's physique by Congress leader Shama Mohamed sparked backlash and a defense from Sunil Gavaskar. Congress distanced from the remarks amidst ongoing discussions on body image in sports.

Shama Mohamed criticized Rohit Sharma's physique and leadership, sparking backlash. Sunil Gavaskar defended cricket skills over appearance, while Congress distanced from Shama's comments as India preps for an upcoming match.

Congress leader Shama Mohamed has been facing criticism for her comment on India captain Rohit Sharma's physique. In a now-deleted post on social media platform X, Shama said that Rohit is too heavy for a sportsperson and described him as the most unimpressive captain India has had.
The statement sparked public outrage, prompting responses from sporting legends and political entities alike.
Cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar responded to the controversy by emphasizing that cricket is more about mental toughness than physical appearance. Gavaskar stated, "If fitness was the primary selection criterion, then models should be chosen for the team.
It's about cricket skills, not how one looks." He further defended players who have been criticized for their physique, pointing out that performance on the field is what truly matters.
"If a player scores prolifically for India, their size should not be an issue. The focus should be on mental resilience and the ability to perform."
Shama Mohamed also took a dig at Rohit Sharma's leadership skills, calling him a mediocre captain when compared to his predecessors.
These comments have not only drawn ire from the Bharatiya Janata Party but have also led to her own party, Congress, distancing itself from her remarks. Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera clarified, "The Indian National Congress highly values the contributions of sporting legends and does not support any statements that devalue their legacies."
As India prepares to face Australia in a pivotal Champions Trophy semi-final, the remarks continue to stir debate, highlighting the sensitive nature of body image discussions in sports.

Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed's comments on Rohit Sharma trigger backlash, spotlighting impacts on athletes and societal standards. Despite Rohit's consistent performance, controversy highlights media criticism.

Backlash Over Shama Mohamed's Rohit Sharma Remarks

Shama Mohamed faces criticism for remarks on Rohit Sharma, spotlighting the societal impact on athletes and expectations. The Congress party intervenes, asking Mohamed to delete her tweet amid ongoing discussions on respect and performance in sports.

Uncalled for - Venkatesh Prasads take on  'Rohit Sharma Fat-Shaming' Row

Shama Mohamed's remarks on Rohit Sharma lead to criticism, showcasing societal impacts on athletes. Despite deletion, effects linger.

Former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad criticized Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed for her derogatory comments about Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma.
During India's Champions Trophy 2025 matchup against New Zealand, Mohamed tweeted that Rohit needed to 'lose weight' and called him the "most unimpressive captain India has ever had".
Although she deleted the post, her remarks sparked widespread backlash, with many coming to Rohit's defense.
The critic argued that Rohit, who led India to a T20 World Cup victory just eight months prior, deserved respect for his achievements in cricket.
He called Mohamed's comments "absolutely pathetic and uncalled for," noting Rohit's skill and leadership as captain. Dinesh Lad, Rohit's childhood coach, also weighed in, stating that such fat-shaming reflects poorly on the country and damages the nation's image internationally.
Following the controversy, the Congress party instructed Mohamed to delete her post. While the controversy swirled, Rohit Sharma continued to perform in the ongoing tournament, though he remains the only top-order batsman yet to score a half-century, accumulating 76 runs across three innings.
Despite this, support for him remains strong, highlighting the respect and admiration he commands both on and off the field.

2024 has been a defining year for Indian sports with monumental victories across cricket, athletics, chess, and para-sports. India’s T20 World Cup triumph, Paris Olympics, and record-breaking feats by para-athletes have set new benchmarks.

Rohit had got hit on the left knee during the training session at the MCG on Sunday and there was speculation about the seriousness of the injury.

My knee is fine, let’s not worry about who bats where: Rohit Sharma

Rohit had got hit on the left knee during the training session at the MCG on Sunday and there was speculation about the seriousness of the injury.

Ahead of the Boxing Day Test, India skipper Rohit Sharma on Tuesday dismissed fears about the knee injury he suffered during practice, saying it was fine while keeping the suspense over his batting position.
Rohit had got hit on the left knee during the training session at the MCG on Sunday and there was speculation about the seriousness of the injury.
&ldquo;My knee is fine,&rdquo; said Rohit during a media interaction ahead of the fourth Border-Gavaskar Test here from December 26.
Rohit missed the opening Test Down Under to be with his family for the birth of his second child. He was expected to reclaim the opener&rsquo;s spot but KL Rahul&rsquo;s impressive 77 in India&rsquo;s win at Perth prompted a rejig of the batting order with the skipper moving down to No.6.
The change though has not been fruitful for Rohit as he has managed 10, 3 and 6 runs in the last three innings, while Rahul has encashed on the opportunity by notching up a fine 84 in the first innings at Brisbane in the third Test.
The skipper said he would do whatever is best for the team.
&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s not worry about who bats where. Something that we need to figure out and not something I would be discussing here. We will do what is best for the team,&rdquo; Rohit On Kohli&rsquo;s form, and his supposed shortcoming outside off-stump, Rohit said, the stalwart will find a way out of the slump.
&ldquo;Kohli&rsquo;s off stump&hellip; you only say modern-day great. Modern-day greats figure out their own path,&rdquo; said the skipper.
Kohli scored a century in the second innings of the Perth Test, which India won after being dismissed for 150 in the first essay.
However, he was dismissed for 7 and 11 in the second Test, which Australia won by 10 wickets to level the series, while in the drawn third Test at Brisbane, he made 3.
Young Yashasvi Jaiswal has failed to fire following his match-winning 161 in the first Test but Rohit said he will be encouraged to play his natural free-flowing game.
&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t want to tamper Jaiswal&rsquo;s mindset. He understands his batting more than any of us. You encourage him to play freely.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Kapil Dev rallies behind Rohit Sharma amid criticism post India's Adelaide Test loss. Highlighting Rohit's past achievements, Kapil urges patience and confidence in Rohit's ability to bounce back, emphasizing the temporary nature of form in sports.

Kapil Dev Backs Rohit Sharma Amid Rising Criticism

Kapil Dev rallies behind Rohit Sharma amid criticism post India's Adelaide Test loss. Highlighting Rohit's past achievements, Kapil urges patience and confidence in Rohit's ability to bounce back, emphasizing the temporary nature of form in sports.

Former cricketer Kapil Dev has defended Rohit Sharma amidst criticism following India&rsquo;s 10-wicket loss in the Adelaide Test. Kapil urged patience, stating it&rsquo;s unfair to judge Rohit&rsquo;s captaincy based on one poor result in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
India started the series strongly, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the team to a 295-run win in Rohit&rsquo;s absence in Perth. However, under Rohit&rsquo;s leadership, India faltered in Adelaide, where his personal form was underwhelming. Batting at No. 6, he managed just 9 runs across two innings, continuing his struggles against pace.
Kapil highlighted Rohit&rsquo;s proven track record, including leading India to a T20 World Cup win a few months ago. &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s not doubt Rohit Sharma&rsquo;s ability to bounce back. He has nothing to prove; his achievements speak for themselves,&rdquo; Kapil said, expressing confidence in Rohit&rsquo;s ability to recover from setbacks.
The former captain dismissed concerns about Rohit&rsquo;s leadership, pointing out that even stalwarts like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli faced similar scrutiny after consecutive Test losses. Kapil urged fans to focus on the team&rsquo;s collective potential rather than individual lapses.
Rohit&rsquo;s discomfort against pace was evident, as Australia&rsquo;s Scott Boland and Pat Cummins dismissed him cheaply in Adelaide. He will face mounting pressure in the third Test in Brisbane starting December 14, where India will look to bounce back against a dominant Australian side.

Dravid on Monday had made it clear that the T20 World Cup would be his last assignment with the Indian team. A day later, Rohit got emotional while talking about his first captain on the national side.

'I tried to convince him': Rohit Sharma reveals chat with Rahul Dravid on quitting head coach role

Dravid on Monday had made it clear that the T20 World Cup would be his last assignment with the Indian team. A day later, Rohit got emotional while talking about his first captain on the national side.

India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday revealed that he tried to convince outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid to stay on besides acknowledging his massive contribution to the team over the past two and a half years.
Dravid on Monday had made it clear that the T20 World Cup would be his last assignment with the Indian team. A day later, Rohit got emotional while talking about his first captain on the national side.
Gautam Gambhir is seen as Dravid's successor but it remains unclear if he has applied for the job.
"I tried convincing him to stay, but obviously there are a lot of things that he needs to look after as well. But yeah, I personally enjoyed my time with him.
"I'm sure the rest of the guys will say the same. It's been great working with him. And I'm not going to say anything actually. I'm not going to say anything," said an emotional Rohit when asked if the team has planned a farewell for him.
Rohit and Dravid go back a long way with the former having made his India debut under the player-turned-coach in June 2007.
"He was my first international captain when I made my debut in Ireland. Then I saw him play while I was just coming into the team (for) Test matches when he was captain. And such a big role model for all of us," said Rohit ahead of India's World Cup opener against Ireland on Wednesday.
"Growing up, we watched him play and we know what he has achieved, personally as a player and also what he's done for the team over the years. Battling out the team from difficult situations and that is what he's known for," he said referring to the 'Wall'.
India have not bee able to win a trophy in the Rohit-Dravid era yet but the head coach's contribution has been immense, said the skipper.
"He's shown a lot of great determination throughout his career and that is something that when he came here as a coach, I wanted to learn from him.
"It's been very fruitful. Other than the big silver (trophy), we won all the major tournaments and series. I've enjoyed every bit of it, working with him, and deciding what direction the team needs to head.
"And for him to buy into that thought, obviously makes a huge difference. And he was the first one who came and said, 'This is what we need to do as a team'. No matter what happens, but at least we'll give it a good shot at it when he arrives," added Rohit.
Dravid had taken charge of the team in November 2021.&nbsp;

"They were not playing together as a team. Hardik wasn't a free man in the last two months. I believe both of them and many others who have played in different teams will have to come together to do something special for the nation" - Harbhajan

Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya need to be on same page for T20 World Cup: Harbhajan Singh

Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh wants Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma to come together to do something special for the nation at #T20WorldCup

"They were not playing together as a team. Hardik wasn't a free man in the last two months. I believe both of them and many others who have played in different teams will have to come together to do something special for the nation" - Harbhajan

Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has nothing but empathy for Hardik Pandya as he navigates a challenging phase in his career and is hopeful that the all-rounder, who "hasn't been a free man in the last two months", will become one during next month's T20 World Cup.
Pandya endured a forgettable IPL both as captain and player with his team Mumbai Indians ending bottom of the heap in the points table. What made things worse was the incessant jeering of fans whenever he took the field, including at MI's home turf -- the Wankhede Stadium.
But Harbhajan expects the tide to turn in the Americas during the T20 showpiece.
"When he wears that blue jersey, he will be a different Hardik Pandya because we know he can score those runs and take those wickets. I want Hardik to come good as he has gone through a lot and I wish him all the very best to have a very good tournament for India," Harbhajan told PTI in an exclusive interview.
"If he has a good tournament, obviously India will have a great chance to go forward," he said.
"Yes, his form is a bit of a concern...and lot of other stuff was going on around him, his shifting from Gujarat to Mumbai, was a big change and the team (MI) didn't react too well to Hardik coming back and that too as captain," the 43-year-old added.
The reason for the fan backlash against Pandya was MI's decision to hand him the captaincy after taking it away from the long-serving Rohit Sharma.
There was speculation throughout the season that MI's dressing room was a divided house due to the change of guard. Rohit will now captain the national side with Pandya as his deputy in the World Cup starting June 1.
Harbhajan, a multi format World Cup-winner, urged the team management to bring Pandya and Rohit on "same page".
"...it looked like they (MI) were not playing together as a team. So there was a lot going on. Hardik wasn't a free man in the last two months. I believe both of them and many others who have played in different teams will have to come together to do something special for the nation...," he said.
"Winning a World Cup is a bigger achievement than winning an IPL trophy, so I would urge the management to bring everyone together, have them on one page and make sure they play like one.
"I believe it's the responsibility of the management to come together, and win together. Even if they lose they should be losing together." Bumrah will need support

Rohit Sharma to lead India in T20 World Cup despite losing Mumbai Indians' captaincy: report

Since December 15, rumours are afloat that Rohit Sharma is likely to lose his captaincy to Hardik Pandya following a shift in the Mumbai Indians' leadership. 

Since December 15, rumours are afloat that Rohit Sharma is likely to lose his captaincy to Hardik Pandya following a shift in the Mumbai Indians' leadership.&nbsp;

Just days after Mumbai Indians sacked Rohit Sharma as captain and named Hardik Pandya as their new leader, a report claims that the senior will lead India in the upcoming T20 World Cup.&nbsp; Quoting a BCCI official, news organisation Dainik Jagran reported that as far as the cricketing body is concerned, Sharma is still India's captain in all three formats.&nbsp;
Speculations were rife that following Hardik Pandya's succession in the IPL franchise, Sharma would lose his national captaincy as well.&nbsp; However, the report went on to state that the 36-year-old is BCCI's first choice, seeing his leadership skills on display in the recently-concluded ODI World Cup where India finished runners-up.&nbsp; Also Watch: <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/without-rohit-virat-duo-india-set-to-take-on-south-africa-in-first-odi-since-world-cup-loss-1702745424246">Without Rohit-Virat duo, India set to take on South Africa in first ODI since World Cup loss</a>

Rohit and Virat were crying in dressing room after heartbreaking loss in WC final: Ashwin

Although India failed to emerge successful in the World Cup, Kohli and Rohit lit up the event up with their explosive batting.

Skipper Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli were in tears in the dressing room following India's heartbreaking loss to Australia in the recent ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad, veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said.
Australia beat India by six wickets on November 19 in the final to win a record sixth ODI World Cup title.
After the loss, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Indian dressing room and tried to cheer up Rohit and Kohli.
But Ashwin said the dressing room witnessed some heartbreaking scenes.
"Yes, we were feeling the pain. Rohit and Virat were in tears, (and) seeing it felt bad. Anyway, (it was) not meant to be. This team was an experienced side, (and) everyone knew what to do," he told former cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath on the his YouTube channel.
Although India failed to emerge successful in the World Cup, Kohli and Rohit lit up the event up with their explosive batting.
Ashwin heaped praise on Rohit, both as a batter and leader.
"If you take a look at Indian cricket, everybody will be telling you that MS Dhoni is the best captain. (But), Rohit Sharma is an outstanding person, (and) he understands every single player in the team," he said.
"He knows the likes and dislikes of each of us and has a great understanding. He puts in the effort to know each player personally," he reckoned.
Ashwin played just a game in the entire World Cup, India's opener against Australia in Chennai, finishing with figures of one for 34.
Asked why Rohit didn't include him in the playing XI for the final, he backed the skipper saying it's not easy to change the winning combination.
"As far as I playing the final is concerned, the team combination and all is secondary. Firstly, it's about empathy, (and) I keep stressing it a lot.
"It's like standing in someone else's shoes and looking at things from his/her perspective. Had I been in Rohit's shoes, I would have thought 100 times about altering the (winning) combination," he said.
"It was going alright for the team, so why rest a fast bowler for three spinners?" he wondered Ashwin said he was prepared for the grand finale, but was not certain about his place in the playing XI.
"Honestly, I understood Rohit Sharma's thought process. Playing the final is big, (and) I was preparing for three days in the lead-up," Ashwin said.
"At the same time, I was also prepared to cheer for the side and run in with energy drinks if I was not given the opportunity. I was mentally prepared for that as well," the spinner concluded.

Watch: 'What has happened in the past, is the past,' Rohit Sharma ahead of semi-final clash against NZ

Rohit has respect for New Zealand whom he described as probably the "most disciplined" side in the competition, adding that they have a quality of reading the opposition very well.

Over the past few weeks, his team has transformed into an unstoppable force vanquishing everyone on its path to glory. But, in Wednesday's World Cup semifinal against New Zealand, India skipper Rohit Sharma also wants "luck to favour" his squad.
"Time has come for luck to favour you and fortune favours the brave," Rohit said on the eve of the big-ticket game.
Rohit said the hosts will not be required to make big changes in regards to their mindset and approach just because they are headed into the semifinal clash.
India have been the most dominant team in this World Cup having won all their nine league matches to finish at the top of the points table and will face the Kiwis at the Wankhede Stadium in the first semifinal.
"I don't think we need to do anything different than what we have been doing," Rohit told the media here before India's only training session ahead of the semifinal game.
The captain said pressure has always been a part of the journey for them as Indian cricketers and it will be no different when they will take the field for the semifinal.
"Be it a league match or semifinal, the pressure is always there in a World Cup match. We have handled it well from the first game to the last. The team has responded well," Rohit said.
"We are focusing on playing good cricket in the next two games. Pressure is always there on us as Indian cricketers. The need is to focus on the game and not on the pressure and challenges from the other side," he added.
Rohit has respect for New Zealand whom he described as probably the "most disciplined" side in the competition, adding that they have a quality of reading the opposition very well.
"New Zealand (are) probably (the) most disciplined team. They play smart cricket, they understand the opposition very well. They understand the mentality of the opposition. They have been very consistent playing semis and finals of all ICC tournaments," Rohit said.
Rohit acknowledged that while the pressure has been there on his side to emulate the feat of the batches of 1983 under Kapil Dev and in 2011 under MS Dhoni, he said the only aspect that the current players are interested in is self-improvement.
"That's the beauty of this team. Half of the guys were not even born when we won the World Cup for the first time. Half of them weren't playing cricket when we won it the last time.
"I don't see them talking about how we won the first or the last World Cup. The focus is on getting better and what we can do to improve. Focus is always on the present," Rohit said.
The second semifinal will be held in Kolkata on Thursday between South Africa and Australia who finished second and third respectively.&nbsp;

'It has been very positive. I cannot call it a rehab but whatever procedure had to be followed after the injury, by him and the NCA (staff), a lot of positive things have happened there'

Rohit Sharma is relishing his own effortless stroke-making in the ongoing World Cup but the Indian skipper is not swinging his bat "mindlessly".
When Rohit takes on the bowlers upfront, the most audacious-looking shots appear to have been hit with remarkable ease, true to his languid batting style.
The captain has pulled off some mesmerising knocks in this showpiece with his 87-run knock against England on a tricky Lucknow wicket standing out after he slayed the Afghanistan attack in New Delhi.
However the Indian opener reminded every one that he is not just going out there and swinging his arms, saying he always has team requirement and match-situation in mind. "I am enjoying my batting but obviously keeping in mind the team and the situation. It is not like that I have to go and swing my bad mindlessly - I have to use it (the bat) well, have to play well and get the team in good situations - that is my mindset," Rohit said ahead of contest against Sri Lanka. "The scoreboard is zero when I open, I have to set the tone for the game. I have the advantage, you can call it, that I am opening the batting and there is no pressure of (a fallen) wicket. When you have to start you can play fearlessly but then last game we were put under pressure in the powerplay, we lost three wickets." Rohit said the team's thumping win in the Asia Cup final over Sri Lanka, and the fact that it was the same opponent which they had beaten in the 2011 World Cup final to lift the trophy, would have no bearing on the contest here on Thursday.
"In this World Cup we have seen a lot of games, I would not call it an upset because every team here is to win games. Every team is trying to beat the other team so at no point you can think that this is a cakewalk for us.
"It is important that you stay in the present, do your processes and keep working as a team on what you have been doing as a team. We are not trying to look too much into the opposition, we are trying to look internally and see where we can get better as a team and as players and certain areas that we want to work on," he added.
Rohit acknowledged the fact that hardly one or two players from that past Lankan team are in the current line-up.
"It has been more than a decade now since that has happened and I do not think that is going to be a factor," he said.
The home skipper also hoped that Hardik Pandya will be back in action soon and his progress at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) has been &lsquo;very positive&rsquo; as a question mark remains on his comeback to the side in this World Cup.
Pandya has been out of action since he damaged the ligaments of his left ankle on October 19 in the World Cup league game against Bangladesh, and is expected to join the team only at the end of the league stage round against the Netherlands on November 12 in Bengaluru.
"It has been very positive. I cannot call it a rehab but whatever procedure had to be followed after the injury, by him and the NCA (staff), a lot of positive things have happened there.
"He is not available for the game tomorrow. It is such an injury that we are tracking it daily, in terms of how much he has recovered, how much he has bowled or batted. We will take a call on him on a day-to-day basis. But the way he has been progressing, hopefully he will be able to come back very soon," Rohit said

Captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday heaped praise on his bowlers for "showing their magic" in India's 100-run win over England in a World Cup match here, saying "you don't see that every day".
<a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/india-s-mohammed-shami-jasprit-bumrah-and-kuldeep-yadav-destroy-england-in-icc-cricket-world-cup-ind-vs-eng-rohit-sharma-1698596724856">Pacers Jasprit Bumrah (3/32) and Mohammed Shami (4/22) bowled fiery opening spells</a> before the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav (2/24) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/16) joined the party as India bowled out defending champions England for a paltry 129 in 34.5 overs.
Before that, Rohit struck 87 on a challenging pitch to help India post 229 for 9 after being put in to bat.
"You don't see that every day when you are defending such a total. Our seamers exploited the conditions very well, there was swing and lateral movement available (on the pitch)," <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/icc-cricket-world-cup-lowest-totals-successfully-defended-by-india-ind-vs-eng-india-vs-england-1698594338222">Rohit</a> said at the post-match presentation.
"We have got a good balance there. A couple of good spinners and seamers bringing in their experience. When you have a bowling line-up like that, it's important that the batters give them something to work with, and show their magic," he added when asked about the variety in his side's bowling unit.
He said his players showed "a lot of character" and they, especially the experienced players, stood up at the right time.
"This was a game where we showed a lot of character. All the experienced players stood up at the right time and won us the game.
"Looking at how the tournament has gone for us, batting second in the first five games and then we had to bat first here, we were challenged. We knew the pitch had something in it and we had the experience in our bowling, so we wanted to get to a decent total." Rohit, however, admitted that his side were found wanting during their batting innings and they were 30 runs short .
"We were not great with the bat. Losing three wickets in the first powerplay isn't the ideal situation. You have to then create a long partnership, which we did. But then we just lost wickets, including mine.
"Looking at the overall picture, I thought we were 30 runs short." On his own batting, Rohit, who was named player of the match, said, "After the first 10 overs, it was important to stitch a partnership. You have to play the situation as well and not just play your shots.
"If you have that experience, you should use it. But I still thought we were 20-30 runs short. The new ball was a bit challenging and as the game went on, the ball got softer and it was not easy to rotate strike." A disappointed England captain Jos Buttler said his side did not execute their plans and admitted they failed with the willow.
"Very disappointed. At the halfway stage, chasing 230, we would have fancied ourselves. Same old story. Very disappointed. I wasn't sure about the dew, the gut failed said we should chase," he said.
"I think whichever way you want to go, you have to be committed. It's all about execution. It is. The answer is on a postcard, I think. It was a great start in the powerplay by the bowlers, the guys found some movement.
"The ground fielding was good. But the way we batted, we didn't back that up." The top seven teams after the league stage of this World Cup will join hosts Pakistan in the 2025 Champions Trophy. England are languishing at the bottom of the table.
Asked about that, Buttler said, "Yeah, we are aware of that and there's still lot to play for."&nbsp;
