Rohit Sharma Test Rankings: Rohit Sharma, the current captain of the Indian cricket team and known as the ‘Hitman,’ is recently on a mission to lead his team by example. Because of this, he has often failed to score big. Recent example of this was seen in the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh played last month. Where he was flopped in all 4 innings. As a result of these consecutive failures, he has suffered a steep decline in the ICC Test rankings. So, let’s come together and discuss his current and previous Test rankings.
Rohit Sharma Faces a Major Setback in ICC Test Rankings
Before the start of the India vs Bangladesh Test series, Rohit Sharma was ranked among the top 10 players in the ICC Men’s Test Batters Rankings. However, after failing in all innings, he has slipped to the 15th position. Meanwhile, other Indian batters have gained significant points. Star batter of the modern era, Virat Kohli, is once again in the top 10 rankings.
Virat played quite well in the second Test, surpassing six players as a result. The batting maestro scored 47 runs in the first innings while remained unbeaten on 29 runs in the second innings of the second match.
On the other hand, Hitman Rohit Sharma tried to bat selflessly but could only score 23 and 8 runs in the second Test. Because of this, many fans are criticizing him and saying that in his attempt to be selfless, he is constantly failing to score big, which is not good for Team India at all. However, many Indian fans and cricket experts are praising Rohit for his intentions and claiming that it is this selflessness that is helping the Indian team become the best in the world right now.
If we talk about Rohit Sharma’s current ICC test rating point, it is 693. His best test rating point in his career is 813. The 37-year-old star player had achieved this in the year 2021. So let’s hope that the Hitman can make a strong comeback in the upcoming India vs New Zealand Test series, which is going to start from October 16.
Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma Indian team will play a 3-match Test series against New Zealand, and this series is being host by India. So, there is a high possibility that Rohit can play some good innings and boost his confidence.
