Ganguly concerned about Rohit Sharma's Test performance

news18.com

Sourav Ganguly has expressed concern over Rohit Sharma's performance in Test cricket. He believes Rohit has not been performing to his full potential in red-ball games over the past four to five years. Ganguly noted that Rohit can play significantly better than he has shown recently. India has played ten Tests in the last five months against teams like Bangladesh and Australia, winning only three matches. Ganguly highlighted the importance of Rohit’s performance, especially with five upcoming Tests against England. He warned that the conditions in England will be challenging, as the ball is likely to seam and swing. While Rohit has had success in white-ball cricket and recently led India to victory in the Champions Trophy, Ganguly pointed out the need for a strong Test captain. There is uncertainty about Rohit’s role as captain in the upcoming Test series, which begins on June 20. Additionally, India’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness is a concern. As discussions continue, it remains unclear if Rohit will be seen as the best option for leadership in the Test format. Rohit’s recent form has come under scrutiny, with a 1-3 series loss to Australia raising questions about his consistency, even though the Champions Trophy win provided some relief. In his seven Tests in England, Rohit has scored 524 runs at an average of 40.3, but he has only one century to show for it.
