Rohit Sharma Equals MS Dhoni, Kapil Dev's Embarrassing Feat With Loss In 2nd Test vs Australia

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma joined an embarrassing list as his side slumped to a 10-wicket defeat against Australia in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide on Sunday. The visitors were completely outplayed as the match lasted for just seven sessions and it was Rohit's fourth consecutive Test defeat as captain. As a result, he equalled the unwanted feat achieved in the past by MS Dhoni, Datta Gaekwad and Kapil Dev. During his stint as captain, Sachin Tendulkar lost five Test matches on the trot while legendary cricketer MAK Pataudi is at the top of the list with six defeats as captain in Test cricket.

"Can't Survive On Past...": Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Receive Brutal 'Reputation' Warning

Following India's loss to Australia in the second Test, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan opened up on inconsistent form of star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, saying that they will have to perform well consistently as living on past laurels will make things difficult for them as they age but expectations stay the same. He also opined that the 'Hitman' batting down the order at number six was a wrong move. After the birth of his second child which caused him to miss the first Test at Perth, which was a memorable win by 295 runs, Rohit's return to cricket was far from spectacular, as not only he succumbed to double digits during struggled-filled outings down the order at number six, the team also succumbed to a 10-wicket loss in the pink-ball Test within just three days at Adelaide. After a century at Perth, Virat struggled with outside off-stump deliveries yet again, scoring just seven and 11 runs in the match.

Jasprit Bumrah is only human and cannot always shoulder the responsibility of bowling opposition out all by himself, skipper Rohit Sharma said on Sunday, urging others to share the load with the premier fast bowler.
