Rohit will continue to play one-day internationals and remains skipper in that format, having won the Champions Trophy in March. He retired from T20 internationals after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Rohit has played 67 Tests and has been India’s captain since replacing Virat Kohli in 2022.
He won half of his 24 Tests as skipper, giving him the best win percentage as India captain behind Kohli, and reached the final of the World Test Championship in 2023, where India lost to Australia.
But last year Rohit oversaw the 3-0 home defeat by New Zealand – India’s first Test series defeat at home for 12 years – and the 3-1 loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
Rohit was dropped for the decisive fifth Test in Sydney after a run of poor form.
