Concerns about Rohit Sharma’s form in T20 cricket remained on Monday despite Mumbai Indians’ seven-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium. Rohit’s poor run of form, since smashing that century against Chennai Super Kings, continued, leaving the fans worried with India slated to begin their T20 World Cup campaign in a month’s time. And it seems that the forgettable run has left Rohit shattered as well as the former MI captain was seen dispirited in the dressing room after his dismissal for just four runs.
Rohit, who was removed from captaincy owing to his diminishing returns with the bat in T20 cricket, amassed 297 runs in his first seven innings this season, which included a 49 against Delhi Capitals and an unbeaten 105 against CSK, both at home. However, in his next five matches, he managed only 34 runs, which included four single-digit scores.
In the match against Sunrisers in Mumbai, Rohit was dismissed by a length delivery from opposition skipper Pat Cummins. He looked to play it off his hips and flick it over square, but he hurried into the shot and ended up getting a leading edge, sending the ball high into the sky. Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen comfortably grabbed it to complete the dismissal.
