Rohit Sharma announced that he had retired from the test jack and said goodbye to a good career divided into two separate halves. A very mediocre moderate tendency for the first 27 games of the test career. However, as in the ODİ jack, his reserves changed significantly when he was pushed to open up to the country. From the 2019 Visakhapatnam test to the 2024 Dharamsala test, the average of Rohit – the test dough was 50 and was just one of the world’s leading openers, but also the leading dough for India.
Struggle outside India
Rohit made a great start to his test career with two hundred in the first two matches for India – against the West Indian Islands in Kalcutta and Mumbai, but later witnessed a big decline in whites for India. In the first 27 tests, only 1585 runs as 39.6. Rohit had a very high failure rate by almost 50%, and within the framework of this time, the three -digit sign passed on one occasion – against the Sri Lanka in Nagpur in 2017 four years after his exit! Although he still had extraordinary refunds at home, Rohit had shocking numbers outside India. There was no tone outside the country. Although he was a modern large in the limited overs, he was at the intersection of his long-shaped career, and time was rapidly running out of Rohit-Scale.
Vizag twin ton
Rohit made a terrible tour in South Africa and watched a difficult tour. The oyster has increased to see him from Test Xi. With
Rohit, a career in Dolrums, was pushed to India as a last resort. It turned out to be Masterstrok. Rohit counted the opportunity and how! He smashed one ton of both strokes of the serial opener against South Africa in Vizag and became the sixth Indian dough to achieve unique success. Striking performance led to the test opener Rohit Sharma and opened another section for India in the test jack.
Dominance as a test opener
October, 2019 Vizag test in March 2024 to the end of the home series against England in Dharamsala Rohit – Test Opener – rose to new summits and was among the world’s leading high -level dough! Within the framework of this time, he became a leading scorer among all the openers of the world, and he was engraved in 2552 runs in 32 games with nine -centuries and 7 fifty and 7 fifty matches. Among the 15 openers who received at least 1000 running in at least 10 tests played during this period, only Dimuth Karunaratne (52.4) had a higher stroke average than Rohit during this period. These four and a half years did not record more than 9 tons of Rohit.
Timing and context of performances
The rise of Rohit as a test opener coincided with a turbulent time for the Big 3 of India. Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane had a weak run in 2020 and 2021. Kohli had an average of 26.1, Pujara – 26.2 and Rahane – 25 and during this period in Rohit. Within the framework of this time (2020-2021), Rohit rose above all other Indian doughs with 906 points. In 2021, 161 delivery in Chennai only 231 delivery in the UK (Fell 0-1 in the Indian series), was widely rated between hundreds of hundreds of hundreds of inclinations in the Indian territory. Rohit, Vizag, 2019 and Dharamsala played 20 tests at home between 2024 and attracted 1633 running with an average strike rate of 54.43 and 65.4. No Indian was running more than Rohit at home within the framework of this time. The rate of scoring the races not only demoralize the opposition bowls, but also created enough time to throw the opposition out of the opposition twice.
Overseas Transformation
Although Rohit has always been a good record in India, the major change in his test career has reached overseas performance. During this period, he scored 919 runs in 12 tests with an average of 43.76 and 12 tests from India. From the opening partnership with Brisbane and Shubman Gill in Sydney, he finally recorded his first overseas face in the big win in Lord’s – in the oval test of September 2021, the Open Rohit contributed to the most important victories of India during this period.
Rohit experienced a major decline in the form of the last eight test of his career, and he made only 164 runs in 15 Inning at an average of 10.93 innings. They included two home tests against Bangladesh and three away tests against three New Zealand and in Australia. However, the most important success in the longest format was the opening contribution – when the chips fell for India between October, 2019 and March 2024, a period in which most of the other Indian dough fought for India, and his team threw the challenging runs when he needed it the most. And this is the biggest legacy of his Indian test jack!
