India captain Rohit Sharma’s rough patch of form continued as he was dismissed for just 2 runs in the 1st ODI against England at Nagpur on Thursday with the home team reeling at 19/2 after also losing Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rohit, who lasted just 7 deliveries, went early for a flick shot off Saqib Mahmood but only got the toe-end of the bat which led to the ball going high and landing safely in the palms of Liam Livingstone at mid-on. The latest dismissal compounded to the Indian skipper’s problems as he now has just 164 runs in the last 15 innings across all formats. Rohit Sharma is not effective anymore? Not even in PP 😐 pic.twitter.com/Y0KuHFhqtP — Pallavi (@Pallavi_paul21) February 6, 2025 On Wednesday, Rohit didn’t seem too pleased with questions on his current form and his future after the ICC Champions Trophy in the press conference on the eve of the first ODI against England in Nagpur.

Rohit Sharma queried when a question was asked about Rishabh Pant’s shot in the final session on the final day that changed the game, even as India plunged to a 184-run defeat to Australia, bundled for 155 chasing 339 in the fourth innings at Melbourne. Rohit would then talk about how Pant, who had pulled a short ball from the irregular spinner Travis Head down the throat of the long-on fielder, has to “understand what is required from him, more than anyone else telling him … what is the risk percentage? He has to figure that out. Do you want to let the opposition back into the game?” Perfectly valid observations, only that two other people in the team need to ask those questions to themselves: Rohit himself and Virat Kohli. Three shots, three mental errors, turned the game around as India let slip a draw from their hands and allowed Australia to wrap a stunning win in front of a spellbound crowd that hung on …

Of late, Rohit Sharma the batsman has had the demeanour of a mumbler in a loud bazaar. Tentative, hesitant, unsure. He seems to be prodding at something, something alive and dangerous that could explode on him. At his best, Rohit the cricketer came across as a guy who took what he was doing really seriously, but never took himself seriously. He had that wonderful nonchalance, yet intensity to set and dictate the tempo for his team. It can perhaps be seen as an overreach, even a cliche, but there does seem a wariness, if not weariness, in his visage these days. Definitely the former as a batsman, and the latter as a captain on field. It’s not the leadership but the batting that’s his main worry. In the 2011-12 tour of Australia, a parallel of sorts was seen in Rahul Dravid. He had started well in the first Test, but slowly he kept getting bowled. There were a few murmurs then from a few experts about how it could be something to do with the …
