Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg weighs in on Rohit Sharma’s future after losing the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series statement. Brad Hogg says Rohit Sharma’s Test career may be nearing the end and questioned the nature of the India skipper’s sacking.

The 37-year-old struggled in the Australia series, scoring just 31 runs at an average of 6.20 in five innings. In his last 15 innings, his average is less than 11, including just a half-century. Rohit chose to skip the final Test in Sydney and confirmed in an interview that he wanted to continue playing Test cricket.

Rohit Sharma could be over now – Brad Hogg

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg said that Rohit Sharma’s Test career may be over. He criticized Rohit’s dismissal, especially being bowled and LBW as an opener, adding that this type of dismissal should not happen early in the innings.

“I think Rohit Sharma is probably done at Test level now. He should move on. He hasn’t been in good form in the last 6-7 months,” Hogggram said on his YouTube channel.

“LBW, he was hit, being an opener, this type of dismissal should not happen early in the innings. LBW, yes, but it should not have been hit between the bat and the pad,” he added.

Rohit Sharma’s captaincy in doubt after BGT defeat

India took a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a dominant win in the first Test in Perth, but a series of defeats in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney allowed Australia to claw their way back won the trophy. The Men in Blue lost the series 1-3 and missed out on the World Test Championship (WTC) final.

Rohit’s captaincy is in doubt and India have lost five of their last six Tests under his leadership. Their next red-ball challenge will be a five-match series in England starting in June. There were reports of riots in the Indian dressing room during the Australia tour, with several players out of shape.

The current form is a bit disappointing – Brad Hogg

Brad Hogg says Rohit Sharma’s resignation from the Sydney Test XI was a wise decision. However, Hogg feels Rohit should do the same in the fourth Test in Melbourne. Hogg also expressed confidence in Rohit’s abilities in limited overs cricket.

“The form is a bit disappointing right now and I think the red-ball game, he’s done the right thing in Australia and probably should do that in the Melbourne Test and get Gill in that Test as well,” Hogg said in the above interview middle.

“When it comes to ODI cricket, I still think he has a lot to offer. You can play more aggressively and you can play with a little more freedom. But age is starting to go on the wrong side for Rohit Sharma. He He has had a fantastic career and for his sake and India’s sake I hope he reaches the top at any time, no doubt.
