India is currently occupied with a five-match Test series against England. Young Shubman Gill has led the Indian innings from the front by scoring 147 runs in the first innings. Meanwhile, former India Test captain, Rohit Sharma, was hosted along with his wife Ritika Sejdah by spin legend Harbhajan Singh and his wife Geeta on their new podcast, Who’s The Boss? in their inaugural episode. Upon asking the question about the former captain’s regret in life, Rohit Sharma smiled and said that everything that had happened to him was prewritten.

“I have been asked many times in the Interviews, what regrets do you have in life?, I said what regrets. If I go back 25 years, I know where I was and what my life was. I’m very happy that God has given me, There is no way I would have thought that I will be sitting here with all these accolades and everything. You receive only what’s written for you, so this was written and I’m very happy with that”. Rohit Sharma said with a subtle smile.

Rohit Sharma Retirement

Rohit Sharma is one of India’s most accomplished and graceful batters, who announced his retirement from Test cricket just before the squad announcement for the England Test series. Having led India across all formats of the game. The decision came shortly after the cricket governing body in the country, the BCCI, decided to pick a new captain for the side in the longest format of the game, thus replacing Rohit Sharma.

Concerning Form

Sharma did not have a very graceful campaign for the past 1 year. During the IPL 2025, Rohit was inducted as the ‘Impact Player’, thus not making the spot in the playing XI despite being the captain of the Mumbai Indians’ franchise, leading them to multiple IPL titles. In IPL 2025, Sharma had a bittersweet campaign by scoring 329 runs, including 3 half-centuries. What concerned the authorities was Rohit’s performance in the longest format of the game. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, he managed just score just 31 runs.

Gill Leading From Front

Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant managed to get their respective Test centuries in Leeds during the first Innings against England. India posted a mammoth of 471 runs for the first innings with the last 7 batters going back to the hut for just 41 runs. Ollie Pope smashed a stunning century just before stumps of Day 2. Jasprit Bumrah claimed 3 wickets, including the big fish, Joe Root.
