Rohit Sharma’s Praise for India’s Women’s Cricket Team
India’s Test captain, Rohit Sharma, recently commended the women’s cricket team for their exceptional performance in the one-off Test against Australia at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian women’s team clinched an impressive 8-wicket victory over Australia, following a resounding 347-run win against England in Navi Mumbai. Speaking ahead of India’s Boxing Day Test against South Africa, Rohit praised the women’s team for their passion and called on them to play more Test matches.
In his own words, Rohit expressed, “I loved watching them play in the last two Test matches. It’s pretty heartening to see how they are playing Test cricket. I saw the passion in everyone’s face and their body language after the win. It’s good to see that people still want to play Tests, be it men’s or women’s cricket. I hope they go from strength to strength and get to play more Tests in future because that is what challenges you. I’m sure you’ll get to see the women’s team play more Test cricket in the future.”
Rohit Sharma’s Return to Cricket
Rohit’s upcoming match against South Africa will mark his return to the cricket field since India’s heart-breaking loss against Australia in the final of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The upcoming series against South Africa presents the opportunity for Rohit to make history as he could become the first Indian captain to win a Test series in South Africa.
The two teams are scheduled to compete in a two-match series, with the first Test to be held at the SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion, followed by a match at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town starting January 3, next year.
India’s Squad for the Test Series

In conclusion, Rohit Sharma’s acknowledgement and support for the women’s team’s performance, along with his imminent return to the cricket field, and the upcoming Test series against South Africa, present an exciting time for cricket enthusiasts and fans.
