“He is finished” Fans go hard on Rohit Sharma after he fails once again in 2nd Test against England.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s struggles in Test cricket persisted on Day 3 of the second Test against England in Vizag.
Sharma fell early in the day, bowled by James Anderson for just 13 runs off 21 deliveries. Anderson’s delivery, a masterclass in seam bowling, angled in before darting away at the last moment, disturbing Sharma’s off-stump.
Sharma’s recent form slump is concerning, especially considering his stellar performances in the West Indies Tests and the ODI World Cup last year. Prior to this series, Sharma boasted an impressive home Test average of over 62. However, in the four innings of this series, he has managed a meager average of 22.50.
The pressure on Sharma intensified after India’s unexpected loss in the first Test, with doubts emerging about his leadership. Despite India’s strong position in the ongoing Test, thanks to standout performances from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jasprit Bumrah, Sharma faced criticism on Twitter, with some fans even suggesting retirement from Test cricket.
