BGT has ended the careers of six players including Dhoni, Sehwag, now it’s Rohit and Virat’s turn!
India, who lost their number one crown in the WTC points table to Australia, have won their last two Test tours of Australia. However, in the meantime, the team coached by Gautam Gambhir has repeatedly flopped in batting on its home ground, which has become a cause of great tension for Team India before this Australia tour. India’s experienced batting line-up failed to score runs, which also included flop shows from big players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Rohit scored 91 runs in six innings against the Kiwis, Kohli scored only 93 runs. After the flop of these two batsmen in this series, questions are now being raised about their future in Test cricket. Fans and some experts have even said that the time for his retirement is near, especially if India fails to make it to the upcoming WTC final. Interestingly, if we look at the history of BGT, six Indian legends ended their careers by playing this series. These six players ended their careers by playing Border-Gavaskar The Test career of 6 big players of India has ended with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which includes the names of former captain MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag. The Test career of these great players came to a complete halt after this series. His last series was the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If Team India is not successful in winning this series, then it is possible that the Test career of Virat, Rohit and Ashwin may also come to a complete halt.

How will India reach the WTC final?? Now only this miracle can get the ticket
Team India will have to do this work to reach the finals of WTC. Team India (Photo Source: Team India WTC Final Scenario- After suffering a 0-3 clean sweep against New Zealand, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, is almost out of the race for the WTC final. After facing white-wash against New Zealand, Team India has lost the number one position in the WTC points table. Rohit Sharma’s team has now slipped to second position with 58.33 percent marks. At the same time, Australia has benefited from India’s defeat while sitting at home. Pat Cummins’ team has now reached the first position in the points table with 62.5 percent marks. At the same time, after winning against India, New Zealand has gained one place and the team has moved from fifth to fourth position. What does India need to do to reach the WTC final? (WTC 2023-25 Final: India’s Qualification Scenarios Explained) Team India now has to tour Australia at the end of this month, where India has to win the 5-match Border Gavaskar series against the Kangaroos. If India has to get the ticket for the WTC final, then they will not have to lose even a single match out of 5. Yes, if they lose even a single match on the Australia tour, they will be out of the race for the finals. Now the only way out for Team India is that they will have to defeat Australia at least four Tests on their soil, apart from this, even if one match is drawn, India can get the ticket for the final. If India wins four Test matches against Australia and loses one, they will have a maximum of 64.03 percent points in their account. On the other hand, if Team India is successful in winning four matches and drawing one match, then they will have 65.78 percent points in their account. Now it will be interesting to see whether Team India succeeds in qualifying for the WTC final from here or not.
Rohit called himself the culprit of the defeat, said- My performance as captain and batsman…
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: For the first time in 24 years, New Zealand gave India a whitewash in a Test on home soil. The hosts performed very poorly with the bat throughout the series and resulted in an embarrassing 3–0 series defeat. Senior batsmen – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in six innings, raising questions over their future in the longest format. After the game at the Wankhede Stadium, the Indian captain admitted that, he faced a very tough time with the bat and was very mediocre even as a captain. His decision to bat first in the first Test in Bengaluru backfired and the team was all out for just 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the series defeat against New Zealand Regarding this defeat, Rohit said that, we have been playing on these pitches for 4-5 years, but in this entire series we could not perform better with the bat. In a way, Rohit Sharma has also taken responsibility for the defeat, but at the same time he said that we did not perform well collectively and this is the reason for these defeats. “Yes, of course, you know it is never easy to lose a series or lose a Test,” Rohit Sharma said at the post-match presentation ceremony. This is something which is not easily digestible. Again, we did not play our best cricket, we know that and we have to accept that. They (New Zealand) performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to admit it. We did not score enough runs in the first innings (in Bengaluru and Pune) and we fell behind in the game, here we got a lead of just 30 runs, we felt we were ahead, the target could have been achieved too, but we should have performed better. Had to do.” He further said, “You also want runs on the board, that’s what was going on in my mind, it didn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t feel good. I have certain thoughts in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn’t happen and it’s disappointing for me. Pant, Jaiswal and Gill showed how to bat on these pitches, you have to be ahead and active, we have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years, we know how to play, but in this series I failed to do so and it hurt. Also, I was not at my best with the bat and as captain, this is something that will bother me, but we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.
