DTVHINDIICC Test Batting Rankings: Rohit Sharma’s worst ranking since December 2018
Rohit was in the top-10 between February 27, 2021 and February 21, 2023. Rohit Sharma (Source X) ICC has recently released new batting rankings, in which many changes have been seen. There has been a tremendous decline in the ranking of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Before the New Zealand series, the T20 World Cup-winning captain was ranked 15th in the ICC Men’s Test batting rankings. But after a very poor performance in three out of four innings of the ongoing Test series, he dropped nine places to 24th. This is the lowest ranking of Rohit Sharma in the last 6 years. After Rohit’s innings of 63* and 5 runs against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in December 2018, he had reached 44th position. And after scoring a few centuries against South Africa in October 2019, he made a tremendous improvement in his ranking, reaching 17th position. Not only this, Rohit was in the top-10 between February 27, 2021 and February 21, 2023. He achieved an all-time high rating of 813, which came in September 2021. This was a time when he was the fifth best Test batsman in the world. In the ongoing Test batting rankings, his teammates Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have also dropped six and five places to reach 14th and 11th position respectively. Kagiso Rabada overtook Jasprit Bumrah On the other hand, if we talk about bowling rankings, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has snatched the first place from India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. He has now reached the top in the men’s test bowling rankings. Rabada is performing brilliantly against Bangladesh. He recently took nine wickets in the first Test of the series. Pakistan’s Noman Ali has also shown his talent in the Test bowling rankings. After his brilliant performance in two test matches against England, he has reached the top-10.
“Rohit is a great captain” – His friends came out in support of Hitman

Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian team is currently trailing 2-0 in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. India had to face defeat in the home Test series after 12 years. After the loss of this Test series, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is continuously being criticized. In such a situation, Shikhar Dhawan has come forward in support of Rohit and shown sympathy. Rohit Sharma’s friend and former opening partner Shikhar Dhawan does not consider New Zealand’s defeat as a matter of concern. Dhawan believes that it is unfair to question Rohit after losing just one series. He told India Today, “We do not feel the pressure you are talking about. Although there is pressure in the game, we are not affected by victory or defeat. It’s part of the game.” Shikhar Dhawan gave a big statement in defense of Rohit Sharma Shikhar Dhawan defended Rohit, saying, “I think this is neither a fair nor a practical approach to anything.” India had to face defeat against New Zealand by 8 wickets in Bengaluru and by 113 runs in Pune. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 consecutive Test series at home was broken. Dhawan, who retired from international and domestic cricket in August, said, “As a cricketer, we do not think like this. Rohit is a great captain. It is not just a matter of victory or defeat. The team has a bond with its captain and the team members respect him a lot.” The last Test of the India vs New Zealand series will be held in Mumbai from 1 to 5 November. India has to play five test matches on Australia tour from 22nd November. There is a high possibility that captain Rohit may miss the first one or two Test matches of the Australia series due to personal reasons. However, BCCI did not say anything officially in this regard while announcing the squad. At the same time, while giving a statement about India’s prospects in the upcoming Australia tour, Dhawan has expressed more expectations from Team India.

“Out of T20 mentality…”, Sanjay Manjrekar angry at this decision taken for Rohit Sharma in Pune Test.
I think he (Rohit Sharma) should proceed based on the overall quality and ability of the players – Sanjay Manjrekar Rohit Sharma and Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Team India suffered a humiliating defeat by 113 runs in the second match of the three-match Test series against New Zealand. After this match, New Zealand has won the series by taking a 2-0 lead. India has lost the Test series at home after 12 years. The team is facing a lot of criticism on social media. Some decisions taken by captain Rohit Sharma during the series are under question, including the decision to bat first in overcast conditions in Bengaluru. In the first innings of the first Test, Team India was all out for 46, which is the team’s lowest score in Test matches in Asia. Another decision that is being examined is to prepare a spin-friendly track in the second Test as it became a problem for India. Meanwhile, the cricket commentator talked about another decision of Team India, which did not benefit the team at all. Things like this should not happen – Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjarkar, while talking about the changes made in the batting order of Team India, has warned captain Rohit Sharma. In the fourth of the second Test, India sent Washington Sundar before Sarfaraz Khan after the fall of Rishabh Pant and retained the left-right combination. Manjrekar termed Rohit Sharma’s decision as disheartening and said that the Indian captain should come out of the T20 mindset. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNCricinfo said, The decision to make Sarfaraz Khan bat lower down the order and send Washington Sundar above him because he is a left-handed batsman, things like this should not happen. This is very strange. This is something that Rohit Sharma needs to be careful about. They should take care of T20 mindset. Left and right hand combinational do not need to match. I think they should move forward based on the overall quality and ability of the players. In the second innings of the second test, both Sarfaraz Khan (9) and Washington Sundar (21) could not play big innings. And Team India was all out at 245 while chasing the target of 359 runs.

IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor.

India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.
