But the hosts now look en route to salvage something a win the last Test match in Mumbai. In the first game, he scored 2 and 52 in Bengaluru. In the next game at Pune, he scored a duck and followed it with a 8-run knock.
At his home ground at Wankhede, he managed to score 18 runs in the first innings. And now with the last innings remaining, Rohit Sharma would be desperately looking to perform well.
