IND vs AUS: Indian captain Rohit Sharma once again proved to be a flop in the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia. Rohit Sharma's performance was quite disappointing in this important clash being played at the Gaba ground in Brisbane. Batting in the middle order, he scored 10 runs in just 27 balls and was caught by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Pat Cummins. After this, when he was walking towards the pavilion, he threw his batting gloves into the dugout, which were later seen lying behind the advertisement board.This incident created a stir among Indian cricket fans and questions arose whether this is a sign that Rohit Sharma is now going to retire from Test cricket. Many social media users shared this picture and claimed that Rohit throwing the gloves means his disappointment and it could be a sign of the end of his Test career. One user wrote, "Rohit Sharma left his gloves in the dugout, is this a sign of retirement?" So another user called it a symbol of Rohit's disappointment.Earlier, Rohit Sharma did not perform well in the Adelaide Test match as well. He scored just 9 runs in both innings, and like his T20 career, his performance in Test cricket has been quite disappointing. Rohit did not take part in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as he was busy with the birth of his first child.Rohit Sharma had already retired from T20 International cricket. After leading India to the T20 World Cup title after 17 years this year, he ended his T20 career. Now, there is speculation about the future of his Test career as well.Given Rohit Sharma's recent performance and his disappointment, it is being speculated that he may soon retire from Test cricket as well, although Rohit Sharma has not made any official announcement about this yet.
The worrying part was Rohit Sharma never looked like surviving the spell from Pat Cummins. Worked over & knocked out, his gloves now left lying in front of the dugout #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/u1WKIjdMKd
