Rohit Sharma has a terrible time in Test cricket

Indian national cricket team captain Rohit is going through the worst form of his Test career right now. He has batted at different places in different positions but nothing has worked and he has not been able to score runs.

His poor form started with the home series against Bangladesh where he posted scores of 6, 5, 23 and 8. When India won that series, Rohit did not receive much criticism.

However, the worst moment for Rohit began in the New Zealand series, when he recorded scores of 2, 52, 0, 8, 1.8 and 11. Team India lost that series 0-3 and the captain was brutally beaten. .

It was believed that the pitches in India were not easy to hit and that Rohit could improve in Australia. However, that didn’t happen either as he scored 3 and 6 runs in two innings in Adelaide Test as India faced a 10-wicket thrashing.

Notably, he had missed the opening match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth because he decided to stay with his wife after the birth of their second child.

When such an important player doesn’t score runs, it will become a slight cause of concern – Harbhajan Singh

Bowling legend Harbhajan Singh criticized Rohit Sharma after his dismal performance in the Adelaide Test. Speaking to Star Sports, Harbhajan said that Rohit has all the skill in the world and has been a proven player, but his current form is a big concern.

“When such a big player does not score runs, it will be a cause of concern. We know that Rohit has great skill and has scored many runs for India. However, he did not score runs in this match and “Also in the previous series, when he did not score runs are scored, the pressure is on the batsman,” Harbhajan Singh said.

We don’t want the Indian captain to have the pressure of scoring his own runs – Harbhajan Singh

The legendary player further said that a captain having the pressure to score his own runs is never a good thing as it affects his performance as a captain.

Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh is hopeful that Rohit makes a strong comeback in the Brisbane Test and wants him to forget his performance in the Adelaide Test.

“We don’t want the Indian captain to have the pressure of scoring his own runs as that could also affect his captaincy. We hope he gets back to fitness. The conditions in other places like Brisbane could be more suitable for him. “He has to leave this match behind and think about what can be done better in the future and how the team can play better because the team is more important than its form,” Harbhajan Singh said.
