Indian captain Rohit Sharma's recent dip in form has ignited discussions about his motivation as he navigates the later stages of his international career. Sharma managed only 11 runs in the crucial third ODI against New Zealand in Indore on Sunday, continuing a trend of modest scores.

His performance in the series against New Zealand saw him accumulate just 61 runs across three matches. This has led to questions from former players, such as Simon Doull, who pondered Sharma's drive and whether the 2026 World Cup feels too distant.

In contrast, Virat Kohli was a dominant force, finishing as the series' top scorer with 240 runs. Sharma's next opportunity to play in the ODI format for India is scheduled for July in the UK, marking a significant gap in his playing schedule.
