Once known to give bowlers nightmares with the bat, Rohit Sharma has looked like a walking wicket in Test cricket recently.
After being out for 14 in the 1st innings of the 2nd Test vs England, the Indian skipper was cleaned up for 13 in the 2nd innings by a James Anderson blinder.
With that, Rohit once again failed to give India a solid start. In fact, in his last 8 Test innings, he hasn't managed to score a single score of over fifty. Rohit has scored just 150 runs during this period at a below-par average of 21.4, with his highest score being 39.
Moreover, 8 innings is the longest that Rohit has gone without hitting a six in Test cricket. The last such unwanted streak came in 2014, when he didn't hit a maximum in 7 straight innings.
The last good Test series he had was against the West Indies in July 2023 when Rohit scored a hundred and a couple of half centuries against a lower ranked team.
With no sign of the Hitman of late and the Indian skipper turning 37 in a couple of months, Rohit Sharma is certainly living on borrowed time.
