Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh was by Rohit Sharma’s side after the latter announced his retirement from Test cricket. The 38-year-old rocked the cricketing world after bidding adieu to the longest format. The former cricketer was seen hanging out with the now former Test skipper amidst the uproar regarding his Test retirement. Rohit announced his decision via an Instagram story post where he said,” Hello everyone, I would just like to share that I am retiring from Test cricket. It’s been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all the love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in the ODI format.” This announcement came in the aftermath of reports suggesting that the Indian selectors had reportedly sacked Rohit as a captain ahead of the upcoming five-match Test tour of England coming up in June, later next month. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Snehkumar Zala (@snehzala) India will have a new Test captain for the five-Test series in England starting June 20 with possible candidates being Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. Bumrah captained the side in a couple of Tests during the tour of Australia. As of now, Rahul and Gill are front-runners due to vice-captain Bumrah’s recurrent fitness issues. Bumrah though can’t be totally ruled out. Rohit, the man who led India in four ICC tournament finals, winning two of them, is a bonafide legend in the ODIs with more than 11,000 runs and 32 centuries. He bows out from Tests as India’s most prolific batter in the second half of his career, overall scoring 4301 runs in 67 Tests with 12 hundreds and 18 half centuries at an average of 40.57. Rohit captained India to the World Test Championship final against Australia and had a fairly decent run in the format save the last couple of indifferent series against New Zealand at home and the Border-Gavaskar showdown against Australia earlier this year. He endured a particularly difficult run during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy where he had to drop himself from the playing XI owing to poor form but he had ruled out retirement at that stage.
