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.

Rohit Sharma To Retire After Australia Test Series? Report Makes Big 'Ajit Agarkar' Claim

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma failed to score big once again as he was dismissed for just 3 on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Friday. It was yet another disappointing show from Rohit who has scored just 22 runs in the last four innings. It has resulted in a lot of discussions regarding his future and a report by PTI said that it is possible that he can retire from the format after the ongoing series. According to the report, chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Melbourne right now and it is possible that they will have a conversation about Rohit's future.

Rohit Sharma's Poor 'Decision Making' Earns Him Brutal 'Bollywood Star' Dig

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar criticised skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to open following poor outings in the middle order, saying that one of the biggest issues with Indian cricket is how every attempt is made to ensure that big-time players come back into the form. After poor outings in the series at number six, in which he scored just 19 runs in three innings, Rohit returned to his usual opening spot and this made KL Rahul, the in-form opener in this series, slide down to number three. However, Rohit's stay at the crease was short-lived as he fell to Cummins due to a poor shot.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting was critical of the tame shot India captain Rohit Sharma played that led to his dismissal off Pat Cummins on day two of the Boxing Day Test, saying one has to be switched on and make good decisions when facing a formidable bowling line-up. Rohit's move of opening the batting for the first time in the series backfired when he played a one-leg half-hearted pull off Cummins, and the top-edge was easily caught by mid-on to be out for three in the second over. That dismissal took Rohit's tally of runs to 22 in this series, thus extending his woeful form in Tests this year.
