‘Mentally it’s disturbing’: Rohit Sharma on his flop show as captain and batter after Boxing Day Test defeat

India suffered a heavy 184-run loss in the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Monday. Rohit Sharma-led Indian side witnessed an embarrassing collapse in the last session of Day 5 to miss out on a chance to win the series.

It was a poor show from Indian batters, apart from Yashasvi Jaiswal who scored a brilliant 84 runs in the second innings. Senior batters Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul struggled to reach the double-digit scores with the captain himself scoring just 12 runs across two innings in the Boxing Day Test.

Rohit came under pressure for his role as a batter and team captain as the veteran opener continues to struggle for form in red-ball cricket this year. Rohit has scored just 31 runs in 7 innings in the ongoing series and has registered just one fifty in his last 15 Test innings.

India have also failed to win a Test game in the last six matches under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. India’s win in the series opener in Perth under Jasprit Bumrah’s leadership triggered the fans to question Rohit’s captaincy and the latest loss added more pressure to his role going into the Sydney Test.
