Rohit Sharma Struggles Against Tim Southee Dinesh Karthik expressed his disappointment regarding Rohit Sharma’s dismissal during the first innings of the second Test against New Zealand at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Rohit was dismissed for a duck, falling victim to Tim Southee for the 14th time in international cricket, which has raised concerns about his batting form.
Karthik’s Analysis on Rohit’s Dismissal Karthik emphasized that Rohit’s approach to the delivery was inadequate. He noted, “The ball was swinging a bit and Southee has had his number quite a few times. He probably has an edge over Rohit a little bit.” Karthik highlighted that Southee’s ability to unsettle Rohit is evident, as the bowler knows how to exploit the Indian captain’s weaknesses.
Defensive Technique Under Scrutiny Karthik further criticized Rohit’s defensive technique, suggesting that he could have handled the delivery better. “That was a stock, standard ball for Southee. There was nothing great about it… Rohit got out to a ball which he should not have,” he stated. According to Karthik, Rohit’s defense lacked the necessary precision against Southee’s delivery, contributing to his dismissal.
Recent Struggles in Test Cricket Rohit’s form has been a concern since the Dharamsala Test against England in March. Despite scoring a half-century in the second innings against New Zealand in Bengaluru, he has struggled significantly, registering five single-digit scores in his last seven innings.
Current Match Status As of lunch on Day 2, India found themselves at 107/7, trailing New Zealand’s first innings total of 259 by 152 runs. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were at the crease, trying to stabilize the innings as New Zealand’s bowlers, particularly Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips, made significant inroads.
Conclusion With the ongoing series posing challenges for the Indian team, Rohit Sharma’s ability to adapt and improve his technique against bowlers like Tim Southee will be crucial in the matches to come. As the team looks to bounce back, fans and analysts alike will be keenly observing how Rohit addresses these challenges.
