New Delhi: The last match of the Test series between India and New Zealand was played in Mumbai. In this match, the Indian team lost by 25 runs, due to which it had to face a clean sweep in the 3 match series. Team India had to face such a bad defeat for the first time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In this series, Rohit Sharma could neither do wonders in captaincy nor was he successful in scoring runs as a batsman. Due to this poor performance, he has reached a very high position in a shameful list, which he would never have expected.
Rohit Sharma’s name enters in the shameful list:
Before this series, Rohit Sharma had lost only 2 Test matches in India as a captain. But the opposite happened against New Zealand. He lost all three matches of the series. With this, he has now reached the second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most matches at home. Under his captaincy, Team India has now lost a total of 5 Test matches at home. In this list, he has gone ahead of legends like Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev. Let us tell you, Tiger Pataudi is at the top in terms of losing the most Test matches at home as a captain. He had lost 9 Test matches in India.
Rohit Sharma’s Test statistics as captain:
Team India has played 21 Test matches so far under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. During this time, the Indian team has won 12 matches and lost 7 matches. At the same time, 2 matches were also drawn. At the same time, he has captained a total of 16 Test matches in India. Out of these, he has managed to win 10 matches and lost 5 matches. Apart from this, 1 match was a draw. On the other hand, if we talk about his statistics abroad, Team India has won 2 out of 4 matches and lost 1. Team India now has to play the next Test series in Australia, where Rohit will have another big test.
Rohit Sharma’s bat remained silent:
Rohit Sharma’s performance as a batter was also very bad in this series. He could score only 91 runs in 6 innings of 3 matches, during this his average was 15.16. The surprising thing was that he could touch the 50 run mark only once, that is, he failed to give a good start to Team India in almost every innings, which also became a big reason for the team’s poor performance in this series.
