ancient Australian cricketer Simon Katich took a cheeky hit IndiaRohit Sharma’s Test pattern during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy post-match discussions. Katich humorously suggested that Rohit could have a promising career in stand-up comedy after cricket, referring to his witty remarks in a recent interview.

Responding to the speculation, Rohit said he was “not going anywhere”, taking a swipe at critics with a microphone or pen. His playful response caught the eye of Katich, who couldn’t resist teasing the Indian skipper.

“Well, if you look at the numbers, they are doomed. We saw that in this test,” Katich said, India Today reports. “It was very selfless of him to take the test. I saw that interview, very well spoken. There’s no doubt he has a future after cricket in stand-up comedy because his humor was so good.”

Rohit’s struggles in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Rohit Sharma endured a forgettable series with the bat. In five innings, he scored just 31 runs, with a best score of 10. His poor form raised concerns about his place in India’s Test team, especially with a crucial tour to England on the horizon

In his interview with Star Sports, Rohit expressed optimism to regain form in the coming months. However, Katich was not so convinced. He pointed out the challenges of performing at the top of the order in Test cricket, especially for a 37-year-old batsman.

Concerns over Rohit’s future

Katich, who has also served as an IPL coach, questioned whether Rohit has the hunger and desire to continue in Test cricket.

“Only he knows if he’s hungry and he drives the 37 to get back there,” Katich said. “England will not be an easy series. They have some good young quicks. Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse are doing well.”

Katich also highlighted the tough conditions India will face in England. “I would venture to say it will be a tough tour if he decides to go and the Indian selectors pick him, first and foremost. Those numbers don’t make for good reading. Test cricket is not a place for 37 years at the top of the order. History suggests it, and only Rohit Sharma knows if he has the hunger to continue.”
