Rohit Sharma Fails Again, Scores Just 2 Runs in 1st ODI Against England
In India’s 1st ODI against England in Nagpur, Rohit Sharma had a tough match. The Indian captain scored only 2 runs off 7 balls before Saqib Mahmood got him out. His struggles in international cricket are a growing concern for the Indian team.
Rohit tried to challenge Mahmood but misjudged his shot. He hit the ball high into the 30-yard circle. Liam Livingstone caught it easily. The Indian captain seemed uneasy facing Jofra Archer’s speed. This added to his batting struggles.
Rohit Sharma’s Struggles Across Formats
The veteran opener has struggled for months. He failed in key series against New Zealand and Australia. He also had a tough time in the Ranji Trophy. His numbers in recent matches paint a worrying picture.
Rohit Sharma’s Recent Scores:
ODIs vs Bangladesh:
- 6, 5, 23, 8
Tests vs New Zealand:
- 2, 52, 0, 8, 18, 11
Tests vs Australia:
- 3, 6, 10, 3, 9
Ranji Trophy vs J&K:
- 3, 28
His inability to find rhythm in any format has put pressure on both him and the selectors.
Retirement Talks Growing Louder?
Selectors have warned Rohit Sharma to consider his future. This comes after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. After a long dry spell, some think he may announce his retirement after the global event.
India wants to focus on younger batsmen, so Rohit’s future with the team is unclear.
Rohit Sharma’s latest failure in the 1st ODI vs England has only intensified concerns over his form. As pressure mounts and selectors watch closely, will the Indian captain bounce back? Or is his international career nearing its end?
