Rohit Sharma came and quickly returned to the pavilion in the second innings of the Pune Test against New Zealand. He was dismissed by Kiwi spinner Mitchell Santner, who had already made an impact in the first innings. There is no question that India’s Test captain is currently going through a poor phase in Test cricket, having struggled in all outings apart from the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur.
The ongoing Test against New Zealand is proving to be particularly challenging for him, both as a player and as captain. India has already lost the first Test in Bengaluru, and now they are chasing a daunting target of 359 runs on a rank-turner against a quality New Zealand side. With another failure added to his record, fans are putting him under the pump, with some suggesting that Rohit should think about his Test future. India, which is currently on an 18-series home winning streak, but the 19th one is under threat, and one of the reasons for this is Sharma’s batting form in this ongoing series.
