MELBOURNE: Captain Rohit Sharma may still be calling the shots on the field but as a Test batsman, he finds himself in a very lonely place right now. After Friday's failed attempt to recover from a prolonged slump by reclaiming his regular opening slot, the talk over his immediate future in the format is likely to get louder.
On the second day of the fourth Test against Australia, Rohit walked out to bat with Yashasvi Jaiswal for the first time in the series. He only managed three runs off five balls, adding to a growing list of single-digit scores over his past few Tests, both at home and away.
