ICC 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.

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. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. 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.

On the second day of the game, Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings. New Zealand scored 402 runs in the first innings, Rachin Ravindra played a brilliant score of 134 runs. After flopping with the bat in the first innings, Team India made a great start in the second innings. The pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma appeared with the same intent for which they are known. Captain Rohit Sharma played brilliantly and completed his half-century in 59 balls by hitting 4,6,4 against Matt Henry in the 21st over. But then the Hitman was heartbroken in the very next over. He lost his wicket in a very strange manner against Ajaz Patel. Rohit Sharma disappointed after getting out The 22nd over of India’s second innings was bowled by Ejaz Patel. Virat Kohli hit a four on the first ball of the over, then after running one run on the next ball, Kohli gave the strike to Rohit Sharma. Indian captain Roi could not score runs on the third and fourth balls of the over. Then he was bowled on the fifth ball. Rohit Sharma defended but the ball hit the stumps. After this, Rohit stood up with his head bowed and slowly moved towards the pavilion. Rohit was very disappointed and looking at him it seemed as if he was going to cry. The fans present at the Chinnaswamy Stadium were also quite surprised by the Hitman’s wicket. In the second innings, the Indian captain scored 52 runs in 63 balls with the help of 8 fours and one six. Very Unlucky💔 Well played, this is what he can do if he takes his time and plays calmly same #RohitSharma𓃵Same!!#INDvsNZ #ViratKohli𓃵 pic.twitter.com/dVkAXB6M7o — Mahendra Choudhary (@MG_Choudhary_07) October 18, 2024

Aakash Chopra shared a video on his YouTube channel in which he said, ‘The second reason due to which this series will be remembered by everyone is that history has been made. You people will say what is the big deal in this that we defeated Bangladesh whereas they had defeated Pakistan before that. You cannot beat India because no team has been able to do that till now. First, the way of playing has changed. We played on a pitch where the team is bowling first after winning the toss. That too with three fast bowlers. This means that you are challenging yourself. If we talk about Kanpur, only 35 overs were bowled on the first day while there was no play on the second and third days. You guys said there would be a 100% draw. We won the match with 40 overs left: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘We won the match when 40 overs were left. Only one and a half day’s play was left and two and a half day’s play could not be played. However, despite this we registered victory. No one expected that we would win this match but we have achieved a great feat. Regarding Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra said, ‘This match and series will remember the legacy of Rohit Sharma as a Test captain because without the change in mentality and confidence of the captain, this series would not have been won 2-0.
