New Delhi. The Indian captain's batting failed once again when he was out after scoring just 18 runs on the Mumbai ground. The discussion about Rohit's continuous failure has now started in the entire cricket world. Be it spin bowling or seam bowling, Rohit Sharma has become an easy prey for everyone. Today when the spin bowlers were getting help on the pitch, the seam bowler became the victim of Match Henry.
Today when Rohit came to bat, some balls hit the sweet part of his bat which indicated that he is returning to form. But Rohit could not remove his bat on a ball from Henry which suddenly bounced from the good length spot. Before this, Rohit had also got a lifeline.
The record is such that Sharmaji himself should feel ashamed.
Rohit Sharma is in a bad condition in the last 9 Test innings. He has been able to score only one half-century during this period and 6 times he could not touch the double-digit mark. Rohit has scored only 122 runs at an average of 13.55. However, the surprising thing is that Rohit Sharma's condition in the year 2024 is worse than even the lower-order batsmen. Rohit Sharma has been out on a score of less than 20 runs 11 times in Tests this year. After him comes Bumrah, Jadeja, and Ashwin who have been out on a score of less than 20 runs 8 times.
When Rohit failed, the game of the other batsmen got spoiled.
After New Zealand was bowled out for 235 runs, when Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal came to bat, it seemed that the Indian team would put pressure on New Zealand by batting well till the end of the day's play, but the opposite happened. Rohit was out after scoring 18 runs. Shubman Gill and Jaiswal shared a 52-run partnership. As soon as Jaiswal was out, the partnership broke and the Kiwi team got a chance to come back in the match. Three batsmen were out one after the other, including Virat's runout. By the end of the game, India had lost four wickets for 86 runs and they were still 149 runs behind New Zealand.
