His 9-ball duck included a series of troubles which saw him beaten all ends up and got dismissed to a sensational delivery from Tim Southee, as the Kiwi bowler produced a brilliant seam position, that went out off the surface onto the off-stump of the Indian captain.
Watch Rohit Sharma's dismissal here:
This now marks Rohit Sharma's 5th single-digit score from his last 7 Test innings, with the exceptions being his fifty vs New Zealand in the 1st Test, and a blistering 11-ball 23 against Bangladesh in the 2nd Test match last month.
What makes Rohit Sharma's slump in-form even more shocking is the fact that he has not amassed a total of 100 runs from his past 7 innings
A Look At Rohit Sharma's Performances In Test Cricket Since World Test Championship 2023 Final
Rohit Sharma was the losing captain of the World Test Championship 2023 Final, as India were thrashed by 'Mighty Australians' led by Pat Cummins. In the final, the 'Hitman' registered the scores of 15 and 43 in his side's 209-run defeat.
Since then, Rohit Sharma has so far scored 3 centuries and 4 half centuries across 23 innings, which takes his average to 50+ score in almost every 4th innings.
But being an opener, and also the captain of his side, his output has produced many single-digit scores and apart from the away series at West Indies, the 'Hitman' has failed to average even 50 across the Test series against South Africa, England, and Bangladesh.
