Rohit Sharma, one of India's most celebrated cricketers, is enduring a tough phase in his career. His performance during the ongoing Test series against Australia has raised significant concerns among fans and experts alike. Both his captaincy and batting have been under scrutiny.
After missing the first Test for personal reasons, Rohit returned for the second match, but his performances have been underwhelming. Across four innings, he has managed just 22 runs, with dismissals highlighting lapses in technique and timing. His most recent dismissal in Melbourne, attempting a pull shot off Pat Cummins, was described as careless and premature by cricket experts.
Former Australian cricketers Mark Waugh and Kerry O'Keeffe expressed doubts about Rohit's future. Waugh remarked that unless Rohit delivers in the remaining innings of the series, his career might be nearing its conclusion. O'Keeffe criticized Rohit’s decision-making and shot selection, labeling it a “sad state” for the Indian captain.
Interestingly, Rohit, who usually opens, opted to bat at number six in the second Test upon his return, with KL Rahul opening. However, in the fourth Test, he resumed opening alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, but his struggles persisted. The Indian captain now faces immense pressure to revive his form and silence his critics in the remaining games.
