Team India captain Rohit ‘s bat is silent. After Bangladesh, the Hitman was out of form against New Zealand as well. Rohit could not even open his account in the first test played in Pune. A New Zealand player is after him to take his wicket. When he faces the Hitman, he takes rest only after taking his wicket. That player has sent the Indian captain to the pavilion not once but 14 times.
This Kiwi bowler became a nightmare for Rohit Sharma
Team India’s spinners bowled well. Washington Sundar took 7 wickets and R Ashwin took 3 wickets to wrap up New Zealand’s innings on 259 runs on the first day itself. But, Kiwi bowlers were also not behind in counterattacking. Before the end of the day’s play, captain Rohit Sharma came to bat and faced 9 balls. But, Hitman could not open his account in this series. A Kiwi bowler has become a nightmare for the Indian captain. He is always ready to take his wicket.
Tim Southee got Rohit Sharma out 14 times
Rohit Sharma’s bat has remained silent so far in this series against New Zealand. He has scored 2, 52 and 0 runs in 3 innings. But, the Indian captain’s statistics against the Kiwi team are excellent. He has played 8 matches during 2014-2024. In which he has scored 478 runs in 14 innings at an average of 43.45.
But, former captain Tim Southee has given a lot of challenges to Rohit Sharma in bowling. Tim Southee has got Rohit Sharma out 14 times in 17 matches. Whereas South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has troubled Rohit a lot. Rabada has got him out 14 times and Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews has got him out 10 times.
