Rohit Sharma’s Struggles in Test Cricket
Rohit Sharma’s recent form in Test cricket has been disappointing. During the Test series against Australia, he managed to score only 31 runs in three matches. His struggles led him to drop out of the final match in Sydney. The poor run of form has raised concerns about his ability to perform in the longest format of the game.
