Rohit Sharma Poor Form Continues: The way of harassing Rohit Sharma than not scoring runs is a way to get out. Rohit is mostly losing wickets on bad shots.

Rohit Sharma could score just 2 runs in the first ODI against England.

New Delhi. As soon as Rohit Sharma lost the wicket against England, a sigh came out of the heart of Indian fans. Like they are asking what has happened to Rohit Sharma, what is the medicine of this merge… Rohit has been out of form for the last few months. The problem of his bad form is that he has been able to score only 166 runs in the last 16 innings.

When Rohit Sharma landed against England on Thursday, there were high expectations from him. After all, this player was playing the first international match of the year. The India-England ODI series is also very important for the preparation of the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, Indian fans hoped that Rohit would return to the form by playing a long innings. But this did not happen.

Lose wickets by playing bad shots
Rohit Sharma is more harassed than not scoring runs. Rohit is mostly losing wickets on bad shots. Rohit was dismissed in an attempt to flick the ball picked on the leg stump against England. Usually, they have been sending such balls out of the boundary very easily. But on the ball of Saqib Mahmud, he was caught on the midwicket.

Crossed 25 figure once in 6 months
Rohit Sharma’s poor form has been going on for six months, not one or two months. He scored a half -century against Sri Lanka on 4 August last year. After this, Rohit has gone for India to bat 16 times, in which he has scored 166 runs at an average of just 10.37 with his bat. Rohit was able to cross the 25 -run figure only once in these 16 innings. From this, it can be guessed how much pressure has come on Rohit.

Out of form captain causes trouble
This performance of Rohit Sharma must have disturbed not only him, but also team management. After all, the team in which the information batter like Shreyas Iyer is finding it difficult to find a place in the playing XI will be able to tolerate her out of form captain for how many days. We have seen that on the tour of Australia, Rohit Sharma had taken himself out of the playing XI. Indian fans will not like to see this at all in the Champions Trophy.

Captain has merge medicine
Of course, no one else has the medicine for this merge of Rohit Sharma. He will have to play a long innings in one of the remaining two matches against England so that he can get into the Champions Trophy with full confidence. It is possible that for this they have to leave their natural game for some time. The Indian captain should not play big shots until 20-25 runs are made in his account. This method can return them to form. But if they continue their style of hitting with the first ball, then it can prove to be suicidal. Now it has to be seen which path Rohit Sharma chooses. The second ODI between India and England is to be played on 9 February.
