Rohit Sharma Under Stress? "Captaincy Mode" Responsible: Great On Star's Poor Form Ahead Of T20 WC

For Rohit Sharma, the last few days have not been easy. His series of poor scores continued even on Monday, though Mumbai Indians won against SunRisers Hyderabad in an IPL 2024 match. The Indian cricket team captain has not been able to fire in the tournament recently and that has added to MI's inconsistent show so far. Rohit's form in the last five matches has been abject, to say the least. Though he scored a ton vs CSK in a losing cause, Rohit's form has been on a downward trajectory since then. His scores in the last five games, including the SRH match, read 4, 11, 4, 8 6. That's 33 runs in five matches.
