Rohit Sharma 'version 6.20' - worse than Courtney Walsh for visiting captains in Australia

Rohit Sharma moved himself in his customary opening position for the Boxing Day Test after a short stint in the middle order during the second and third Test of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). But none of those moves have proved fruitful, with another failure in the second innings of the Melbourne Test adding to the Indian skipper's batting woes.

Dismissed for 9 by Pat Cummins on the final morning of the fourth Test in Melbourne, Rohit's appalling aggregate in five innings so far on the tour of Australia reads 31, giving him an average of 6.20. Unless he resurrects that by returning to form in the last Test at Sydney, an ignominious record is set to be written in the name of Rohit.
