**Adelaide, Australia** – Indian batsman Rohit Sharma’s return to the team for the second Test against Australia ended in disappointment. Batting at number six after relinquishing his opening position, Sharma managed only 3 runs before being dismissed in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval.
This underwhelming performance continues a worrying trend for the experienced batsman. In his last ten Test innings, Sharma has averaged a meager 13.30, with six single-digit scores and only one half-century. His struggles have sparked widespread criticism on social media, with many questioning his place in the team and suggesting a move down the order to number eight, or even retirement.
Fans have expressed their frustration with Sharma’s inability to consistently perform at the highest level, particularly given the high expectations placed upon him. Some online comments called for his retirement, highlighting his recent struggles across various batting positions and his captaincy record.
The ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series adds significant pressure. With Sharma’s form slumping, the veteran batsman faces a crucial challenge to regain his confidence and prove his worth to the Indian team.
