It's time for the skipper to retire? Fans unhappy with Rohit Sharma's batting and captaincy in Australia

While Virat Kohli is under scrutiny for his batting performances—despite a century in Perth—another player facing criticism is captain Rohit Sharma. The Indian skipper, who missed the first Test, has struggled with the bat in the ongoing series. In the second Test, Rohit scored just 3 off 23 and 6 off 15. At The Gabba in the third Test, his woes continued as he managed only 10 off 27 deliveries.?

Rohit's leadership has also been heavily criticized following India's heavy defeat in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide last week and the team's underwhelming performance in Brisbane so far. Amid talks of Kohli retiring, fans are now calling for Rohit to step down and make way for younger players in the team.
