The shameful record of Rohit Sharma equaling Lala Amarnath, an unfortunate day after 16 years

IND vs CLOSED: Captain Rohit Sharma joined Team India after a massive 295-run victory in the Perth Test and then Team India came to Adelaide to play a day-night Test match on 6 December. On the first day of this match, it was hoped that the inclusion of captain Rohit Sharma in the team would strengthen the batting of the Indian team, but the opposite happened. On the first day, not only captain Rohit Sharma but the entire batting of Team India failed miserably against Australia’s lethal bowling. Nitish Reddy was the only batsman who managed to score more than 40 runs. Mitchell Starc took 6 wickets to restrict Team India to 180 runs in the first innings.

Rohit had created an embarrassing record

In reply to India’s first innings score, Australia got off to a good start and the hosts posted 337 runs thanks to centuries from Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head. After the first innings failure, when Team India got a chance to bat in the second innings, everyone was hoping to see something better but once again the Australian bowlers did not give the Indian batting a chance to play freely. Team India lost 4 wickets for 86 runs. After this captain Rohit Sharma took the responsibility to take the Indian innings forward but he could not do anything special. Like the first innings, Rohit proved to be a flop this time too. Only 6 runs came from his bat in the second innings. In this way, the Indian captain made a very embarrassing record by getting out in single digits in both the innings.

Shameful record made after 16 years

In fact, Rohit Sharma has become the third Indian captain to be dismissed in single digits in both innings of a Test match on Australian soil. After 16 years, an Indian captain has been dismissed in single digits in both innings of a Test. Earlier in the year 2008, Anil Kumble was dismissed for 1 more run in the Perth Test. At the same time, Lala Amarnath could score only 0 and 8 runs in both innings of a Test match played in Melbourne in 1948.
