Indian captain Rohit Sharma bid goodbye to 2024 with an emotional video on his Instagram handle. The video started with him celebrating wholeheartedly the festival of Holi followed by his interaction with his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, Bollywood star Suniel Shetty, fans and other close ones. Thereafter, Rohit posted about the Test series in South Africa that ended 1-1 and a picture alongside Rinku Singh.
Rohit shared the memories of India’s 4–1 series win over England earlier this year and his popular ‘Garden me ghoomne wale bande’ post on social media. They were followed by India’s victory in the Men’s T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA, where Rohit also announced his T20I retirement. Rohit was seen carrying his daughter Samaira on his shoulders and celebrating in the open-bus parade in India.
Rohit also posted a heartbreaking picture where he was seen going back to the pavilion after getting out. The video ended with Rohit’s post on social media after he became a father for the second time. Captioning the post, the 37-year-old Rohit wrote, “For all the ups and downs, and everything in between, Thank you 2024.”
Rohit Sharma under fire
Rohit Sharma has had to face severe criticism of late as India are trailing their five-match Test series 1-2 against Australia. On Monday, India slumped to a massive 184-run defeat in the Boxing Day Test at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Having gone winless in his last six Tests as captain, Rohit is under pressure to stage a comeback.
Rohit’s form with the bat hasn’t been great either with him struggling to go past single digits. In three matches against Australia, he has scored only 31 runs at an average of 6.20. Rohit will have his chance to help India retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy when the New Year’s Test starts on December 3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
