Zoom News : Mar 15, 2022, 10:55 AM
India registered a resounding 2-0 win in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka. Team India was playing Test series for the first time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Rohit was made the captain of T20 and then ODI at the end of last year. He was handed the Test captaincy in February this year. Team India has not lost a single match ever since Rohit became the full-time captain. Hitman is a hit in the lead, but his bat has remained silent during this. In 2022, he has scored less runs than Virat Kohli.

Rohit has scored 90 runs in three innings of two matches against Sri Lanka. During this his average has been 30.00. Four Indian batsmen have scored more runs than him. Ravindra Jadeja scored 201, Shreyas Iyer scored 186, Rishabh Pant scored 185 and Hanuma Vihari scored 124 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin (87), Virat Kohli (81) and Mayank Agarwal (59) scored less runs than Rohit.

What impact did Rohit's batting have after becoming captain?

Team India has performed tremendously since Rohit became the full-time captain. Defeated New Zealand 3-0 in the T20I series. Traumatized West Indies 3-0 in T20 and 3-0 in ODI. Then after a 3–0 win in T20I against Sri Lanka, they achieved a resounding 2–0 victory in Tests. The team performed well, but during this Rohit's bat remained silent. He could not score a single century.

Rohit has scored a total of 41 centuries in 417 innings of international cricket. This means that he has scored a century in almost every 11th innings. Now Rohit has not scored a single century in 15 innings of 14 matches since becoming the full-time captain. It is too early to say that the effect of captaincy has started showing on Rohit's bat, but the figures are not going in his favour. If Kohli has been waiting for a big innings for almost 28 months, then Rohit will also have to score a big century. He will have a chance to do the same against South Africa in June after the IPL.
