The cricket world braces for the grand finale of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy as both sides prepare to clash in the highly anticipated Sydney Test. In the ongoing Test series, Rohit’s disappointing form has become a matter of concern as the Indian captain failed to showcase his resilience in crucial situations.

The wait for the iconic ‘Rohit Sharma show’ continues to grow longer. The legendary opener’s batting struggle in the longest format persisted for quite a long time now. Since his last Test century in early 2024, Rohit’s bat remained uncharacteristically silent, leaving his fans eager for his comeback.

Dharamshala Witnessed Rohit’s Last Test Century

The ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy has become a dark spot in Rohit Sharma’s career. As he is facing consecutive challenges, his career in the longest format is in jeopardy. In March 2024, Rohit Sharma scored his last Test century against England in Dharamshala.

The start of the year 2024 was bright as Rohit Sharma’s Team India thrashed the England side by a 4-1 margin in a five-match Test series. As the fifth match of the Test series was played in Dharamshala, Rohit Sharma’s century added more beauty to the picturesque venue of cricket.

In that Test, Rohit Sharma partnered with Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings, setting the stage for a brilliant start. The Indian skipper delivered a masterclass, smashing his 12th Test ton with a stunning knock of 103 runs in 163 balls with 13 boundaries and 3 over boundaries. That knock gave a huge boost to Team India’s innings as the home side won the match by an innings and 64 runs.

Rohit Sharma’s Future In The Longest Format

Rohit Sharma’s journey in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy has hit a rough patch. After missing the first Test, he came back to the Adelaide Test and failed to find his rhythm. Across 5 innings, he managed to score only 31 runs with a lame average of 6.20.

Experimenting with the middle order didn’t work, and even returning to the opening spot in Melbourne failed to bring the magic of the ‘Rohit Sharma Classics’. As the Sydney Test is looming soon, there is a huge uncertainty about India’s captain’s place in the playing xi. But the fans are eagerly waiting to see the ‘Hitman’s’ domination on the global stage again.
