Rohit Sharma: Indian star yearning for his first Test century in Australia, will the picture change now?
Indian star longing for first test century in Australia
When the Indian cricket team will take the field for the second test against Australia, the command of the team will once again be in the hands of Rohit Sharma. In the absence of Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah was the captain in the first test and he has also passed with full marks by leading India to victory. Now the exam will be for Rohit Sharma. The challenge before Rohit Sharma is that first of all he has to make Team India win under his captaincy, and also he has to do the work which he has not been able to do till now in Australia.
Rohit Sharma’s performance in the test against Australia
Rohit Sharma has played a total of 12 test matches against Australia so far. During this period, more than 700 runs have come from his bat. He has also scored three half-centuries and one century. His average is 33.71, but the matter of tension is that the one century he has scored in the Test against Australia has come at his home i.e. in India. He has not been able to score a single century in Australia.
Rohit has not been able to score a single test century in Australia
Rohit Sharma has batted in 14 innings of 7 Test matches so far in Australia. During this period he has scored only 408 runs. He has three half-centuries to his name, but has not scored a century. His average is also 31.38, nothing special in front of a batsman like Rohit Sharma. His highest score in Australia is 63 runs not out. Rohit Sharma will now play all the remaining four matches of the series and will try to score a century. That means, the work which they have not been able to do till now, should be done now.
Rohit Sharma will open
There are also reports about Rohit Sharma that he can play in the middle order in the Pink Ball Test. In the first test, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the innings, the pair, who failed in the first innings, made a partnership of more than 200 runs in the second innings. After this it probably should not be tampered with. Although the possibility of this is very less. If Rohit is playing, he will open only, there should not be much doubt about it.
