"When Such A Big Player...": Harbhajan Singh's Brutal Verdict On Rohit Sharma's Form

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has raised the issue of captain Rohit Sharma's batting form and feels that it might affect his leadership skills in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a 10-wicket crushing defeat to Australia in the second Test on Sunday. Rohit, who missed the first Test of the series in Perth due to the birth of his second child, only scored 3 and 6 in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval. The 37-year-old's form in Test cricket has been a topic of debate since India's historic 0-3 home loss to New Zealand last month. In that series too, Rohit was not anywhere near to his peak performance in the red-ball format as he only accumulated 91 runs across six innings including 52 in the second innings of Bengaluru Test.
