Rohit Sharma’s Struggles Continue
Indian team captain Rohit Sharma’s batting form has been a major concern, with the player failing to make a significant impact on the Australian tour. Despite high expectations, Rohit’s performance in the Boxing Day Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was disappointing, as he lost his wicket to Pat Cummins after scoring just 3 runs.
Poor Average in Last 14 Test Innings
Rohit Sharma’s form in the last 14 innings in Test cricket has been underwhelming, with the player crossing the 50-run mark only once and scoring a highest of 52 runs. He has failed to reach double figures in 10 out of the last 14 innings, including one instance where he was dismissed for zero. Rohit has scored a total of 155 runs in the last 14 innings, resulting in an average of 11.07, which has raised questions about his place in the team.
