    'The Hitman' Retires From Longest Format: Rohit Sharma's Roller-coaster Ride In Test Whites Ends

    By IANS News May 07, 2025 • 21:22 PM View: 571
    ODI World Cup: Worldwide known as ‘The Hitman’ for his aggressive and ultra-attacking approach towards playing the game, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the Test format in a simple yet not so surprising fashion on Wednesday evening at 19:29 PM.

    At 38, Rohit will continue to play in ODIs, but one is not sure if he will go all the way to lead the team in 2027 ODI World Cup. For now, it’s time to reflect on a roller-coaster of a Test career which had its lows, dazzling highs and ending in a tame manner.

    For the uninitiated, Rohit was to make his Test debut in 2010, but he twisted his ankle on the morning of the match against South Africa in Nagpur, which meant Wriddhiman Saha was handed a debut. He finally got his long-awaited Test debut in 2013, against West Indies in the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's final series.
