According to a report from The Times of India, Rohit is ‘unlikely’ to be part of the Indian Test setup after the series against Australia; however, he may not announce his retirement from the format immediately. Rohit can hold off on such a decision to avoid exacerbating the already tense atmosphere in the team.

After a tough loss to Australia, cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma might need to step aside for a struggling India Test team that needs to transition.

India's next big Test series after Australia is a fair while away but the head coach and selectors would have to take tough and important calls soon.
