An ongoing concern for India ahead of the T20 World Cup is Rohit Sharma’s dreadfully bad recent IPL results.
Perhaps he has moved on from the IPL. It’s possible that he is already preparing for the T20 World Cup, which begins in two weeks. Perhaps the events of the past few months, including the controversial change in leadership within his organisation, are having an impact. Regardless matter the cause, Rohit Sharma’s performance has drastically declined over the past 25 days, raising some eyebrows as the major event approaches.
The skipper of India has amassed 349 runs in 13 innings at an average of 29.08 and a strike rate of 145.41, which doesn’t seem bad. He hasn’t scored as many runs in a single event since 2021, and this season’s scoring pace is the quickest since the 2008 season, when he scored 147.98 runs per 100 balls faced. However, statistics only provide us only half the story, as they always do.
Rohit had an amazing first month of performance, but his returns have been dreadfully low after then. 297 runs in his first seven innings have been followed by a paltry 52 in his last six, in a season of radically different halves. A torturous, laborious, and unedifying 24-ball stay in the Eden Gardens on Saturday resulted in four single-digit scores, with a maximum of 19, attesting to unwavering difficulties. In addition to his lack of runs, Rohit hasn’t seemed to be “in the mood,” if you will, which has resulted in his clumsy attempt to force the bowler to make a mistake early in the innings.
Because of Rohit’s sharp decline in form and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ongoing struggles (almost half of his 348 runs have come in two innings alone), two of India’s three possible openers—Virat Kohli being the third—go into the World Cup with little confidence or momentum. In the spirit of balance, Jaiswal will almost certainly warm the bench. Rohit and Virat Kohli, who has been outstanding throughout the campaign and is the clear front-runner for the Orange Cap, will start for India. But Rohit has to get over this slow start and get going when India kick off their World Cup campaign, both for the sake of the team and maybe more significantly for his personal sake. on June 5 in New York vs Ireland.
The captain’s impact on India’s incredible run in the 50-over home World Cup in October and November is still too recent to be thoroughly discussed. It’s enough to say that his fast pace forced opponents to defend, giving players like Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya (before his injury), and Ravindra Jadeja the freedom to play with unrestricted aggressiveness. Even in the championship match, where India lost to Australia by six wickets, Rohit opened the scoring with his usual fiery 31-ball 47; however, his dismissal in the tenth over robbed the Indians of their fluency and ultimately saw them bowled out for 240, which proved to be a remarkably insufficient total.
India needs Rohit to be sharp and productive at the World Cup. It is anticipated that most US and Caribbean sites would have slower surfaces, which will increase the significance of frantic beginnings against the new ball. When India travels to the Americas, they will need Rohit, the 50-over World Cup enforcer, to return. Leading by example is the strongest motivation for a team, and Rohit has done just that throughout his two years in charge.
Although Rohit has remained silent and attempted to cover behind flimsy humour whenever the subject has come up, it’s clear that he doesn’t like how he was removed from his position as captain of a team that he helped win five IPL championships. None of that lingering, residual, sour aftertaste will be an unwanted companion when he is back in the blue of India for what would undoubtedly be his final T20 World Cup. Before he leaves with a few of his friends from eliminated teams for the Americas early next week, Rohit has one last game to prove himself against the Lucknow Super Giants at his beloved Wankhede on Friday. Significant runs won’t be harmful, and nobody is aware of that more clearly than Rohit does.
But come World Cup time, one can count on a focused, dedicated Rohit. Now that he’s back in control, he won’t require reminding that he has to grab the reins as the leader. Yes, this prolonged slump is a persistent concern. Rohit has the responsibility to make sure that’s all that’s left.

Lionel Messi’s final jab at Cristiano in a million-dollar text message for Lyon’s Argentina player: “Don’t listen to Ronaldo”
French club Lyon stoked the flames of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in their announcement video for Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada.
With the January football transfer window currently open and clubs across Europe looking to add talent to their rosters for the run-in in the second half of the season, French team Olympique Lyonnais have made the exciting signing of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Almada joins on an initial loan from Brazilian club Botafogo, but his announcement was made in style in the latest in a long line of iconic transfer videos.
The 23-year-old midfielder’s signing was announced through a video shared by Lyon in which he receives a text message from ‘Lionel’ along with a goat emoji, clearly meant to be the legendary Lionel Messi, Almada’s compatriot and teammate in the Argentine national team. The text sent to Almada in this video reads “Don’t listen to Cristiano, Ligue 1 is incredible.”
Lyon’s retribution for Ronaldo’s comments
The text provides a sneaky tongue-in-cheek remark from the seven-time French champions, who are referencing Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comment regarding Ligue 1 being a weaker competition than the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plies his trade for Al Nassr. Ronaldo had claimed there was a better standard of football in Saudi Arabia, with the French league considered the weakest of the ‘top five’ leagues in Europe.
Messi, meanwhile, spent two years playing in France, having spent a period in the capital with Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Barcelona. Messi was the latest star at PSG, playing alongside Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, before the trio was broken up as they left France with Messi heading to Inter Miami, Neymar to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe finally getting his marquee move to Real Madrid.
Almada was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, helping Messi finally get his hands on the coveted trophy and firmly setting his status as the greatest of all time in stone. Almada has represented Argentina six times, scoring twice, and finally earned a move to Europe after playing for Atlanta United in the MLS and a brief spell in the Brazilian Serie A at Botafogo. Almada will be joining fellow Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico, who also made a cameo appearance in the announcement video.
Lyon currently sit in sixth place in the Ligue 1 table with half the season concluded, but will have intentions of fighting for spots in next year’s UEFA Champions League with a strong end to the season, in which Almada could play an important role.
