Rohit Sharma gives India a massive worry ahead of ICC Champions Trophy; time’s running up

There has been an air of excitement since the one-day internationals come close against England. It was simple because this has been the format of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While there is no doubt about their stature in other formats, the 50-over format is something special. But before the opening ODI, Virat Kohli was forced to miss the match due to a knee injury. Then, automatically, all the eyes were on Rohit Sharma, who has endured a very lean patch in recent times. But guess Rohit what? The Indian captain continued his struggle with the bat.

‘Age’ has certainly got Rohit Sharma now

Players tend to lose reflexes with age. It’s not surprising but just how a human body has been made to develop. We might be witnessing the same in Rohit’s case as well. The Hitman, who might still not have any issues while facing extreme pace, has seen his batting graph dwindle down massively.

    0, 8, 18, 11, 3, 6, 10, 3, 9, 2—these are Rohit Sharma’s last 10 scores while batting for India. He hasn’t touched even the 20-run mark. The manner of his dismissals have shown some patterns as well. Rohit has been out via caught in the last seven of his nine innings. He tries to take on the bowlers but ends up skying the ball up in the air, only to regret it later. Even during his odd Ranji Trophy appearance against Jammu and Kashmir, he was caught across both the innings.

    ICC Champions Trophy last hope for Rohit

    Rohit hasn’t started the prep for the ICC Champions Trophy well. He was out against Saqib Mahmood in trying to flick a leg-side ball over the in-field. He was early on the ball and hence met it quite low. There are two more ODIs remaining for Rohit to regain form before the Champions Trophy. Rohit has retired from T20Is and has looked at sea in red-ball cricket. The only hope for him is now in the ODI cricket and given the nature (aggressive) of his batting, Rohit has all the tools to make a comeback.
