Things Not Falling Into Place: Rohit Admits Struggles As Batter And Captain
Boxing Day Test: The aftermath of India’s crushing 184-run defeat in the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne saw Rohit Sharma facing tough questions about his future as a Test cricketer and a leader. During the post-match press conference, the Indian skipper admitted that both his batting and captaincy had fell short of expectations.
Rohit’s individual form has been a glaring issue, with just 31 runs in five innings in the series and a mere 123 runs across his last six Tests. His captaincy record has also come under scrutiny, with India winless in their last six Tests under his leadership, including a historic 0-3 whitewash at home against New Zealand in October-November.
"We had the opportunity today to pull the game in our favour or draw it, Still a game to go, if we play well, it'll be 2-2. I stand where I am standing today. Nothing to think what has happened in the past. Lot of things I am trying to do as a batter are not falling into place. You want to come here and try to do things successfully. When it doesn't come off, it is disappointing," Rohit told reporters.
