The Indian team has lost its second match in the Test series between India and Australia being played under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After which the host Kangaroo team is leading 2-1 in the 5-match Test series. India’s chances of reaching the WTC final have diminished due to the defeat in the Boxing Day Test. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma is being discussed everywhere. He has equaled the shameful record of MS Dhoni as captain.
Actually, under the Test captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India has played a total of 24 matches, out of which it has won only 12. Let us tell you that if we talk about foreign countries under Rohit’s captaincy, India has won only two test matches. One in West Indies in 2023 and the other in South Africa in 2024. After losing the Melbourne Test against Australia by 184 runs, Rohit Sharma has equaled MS Dhoni’s record of Test captaincy.
Now Rohit has also stood at the level of captain Dhoni, who captained the team in the maximum number of Test matches without registering a win from 2000 to 2000. In the last 6 Test matches, India has not been able to win under the captaincy of Rohit, whereas in 2011 this has also happened under the captaincy of Dhoni. When India did not win even one of the 6 consecutive matches. After losing the home Test series against New Zealand 0-3, India reached Australia to play a five-match Test series. India won the Perth Test, but the captaincy there was done by Jasprit Bumrah instead of Rohit.
After this, India lost the Adelaide Test in Australia, while the Brisbane Test ended in a draw and now India had to face defeat in Melbourne. After Rohit and Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly’s name appears twice in this list, under whose captaincy India did not taste victory twice in five consecutive Test matches. Then the names of Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble also appear in the list. But in this shameful list, Virat Kohli’s name does not appear in the top-8, which shows how dangerous Team India has been as a Test team under Virat’s captaincy.
