Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma had been having a torrid time in red-ball cricket before he decided to retire from Tests ahead of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025. Under his leadership, India were whitewashed by New Zealand at home in 2024. This was India's first Test series defeat on home soil in 12 years. Rohit only managed 91 runs in six innings at an average of 15.16.
Things went from bad to worse on the subsequent Australian series. Rohit relinquished his opening spot in the second Test after taking paternity leave from the first. The Mumbai cricketer batted at No. 6 in the second and third Tests but couldn't make any impact. In the fourth Test, he moved back up to open the batting. However, success eluded him. He only managed 31 runs in five innings at an average of 6.20. In the final Test, he dropped himself from the XI. The Asian giants lost the series 1-3. During the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, he confirmed his retirement from the traditional format.
