In the aftermath of the Adelaide Test during the India vs. Australia Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Indian captain Rohit Sharma faced intense criticism from fans. After a disappointing performance, scoring just 6 runs off 15 balls, fans urged him to retire, citing his prolonged slump in form in Test cricket. The Indian team was struggling at 105-5 with a 170-run lead, but Australia crushed India with a decisive 10-wicket victory to level the series at 1-1. Sharma, who had shifted to the middle order, has managed only one fifty in his last ten Test innings, leading to increasing dissatisfaction among supporters. His recent record includes poor performances against Bangladesh, where he started the Test series with scores of 6 and 5, and difficulties against New Zealand. Notably, New Zealand handed India its first home series loss since 2012 with a 3-0 whitewash, highlighting the Indian skipper’s struggles. Alongside Sharma, senior batsman Virat Kohli also fell short with scores of 7 and 11, despite his history at the venue. Australia’s pace attack outperformed India’s, securing a comprehensive victory. The Test series continues to be a challenging ordeal for India, with fans demanding changes and a new direction, particularly with Sharma’s captaincy and form under scrutiny.
