Rohit Sharma's Career "Coming To An End"? 'Sad State Of India Captain' Bombshell Dropped As Terrible Run Continues

Rohit Sharma is going through a tought time in cricket. While his captaincy during India's ongoing Test series against Australia has been receiving criticism, his batting has not been good either. He missed the first Test due to personal reasons and joined the team from the second game. Rohit scored 3 and 6 in Adelaide before disappointing with another low score, 10, in the next game in Brisbane. Come Melbourne and Rohit's poor form continued here as well. He was dismissed for 3 runs off 5 balls. What looked poorer was the manner in which he got out. It was a harmless short of length ball outside off stump from Pat Cummins, and Rohit, in an attempt to pull it, got a top edge only to give an easy catch to Scott Boland close to the mid-on region.

Smith highlighted the mix-up between Jaiswal and Virat Kohli as a "huge play" that shifted momentum decisively in Australia's favour. “It looks like Jaiswal called ‘yes' and ran and Virat sent him back.
