It is pertinent to note that the worst offender (batsman whose strike rate drops the most on entering the 90s) is Rohit Sharma, who scored centuries in the first two games of the ongoing series against Australia. He is followed by his current opening partner Shikhar Dhawan. This data also confirms the ubiquitous hypothesis from the 1990s that Sachin Tendulkar slowed down when he reached his 90s (though his drop is much less than that of someone like Sharma). Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, on the other hand, speed up their scoring significantly when they hit their 90s.

Openers complete their 100s between 30 to 40 overs with team being in strong position, so they can take time.

Then how come Kohli, Gambhir dont slow down. They batted as openers/no.3. Sehwag too even in the 90s, he scores at a rate of 133. In the context, its not a sharp drop from 151. Sehwag also has the habit of hitting sixes when he is 94+

Kohli and gabhir were better at rotating strike, so they could take those 10 runs easily then stroke makers.

LOL as expected sachin in the list  tuk tuks even against minnows

[Real McCoy]

Kohli and Gambhir also have a +100 strike rate in the 90s. Can't just be rotating strike. Had to hit a four or two

Sachin didn't necessarily slow down in the 90s. He slowed down when he Was in sight of a 100, which started much earlier. The data you shared shows that his overall SR (80s + 90s combined) was the lowest. When you get to that stage of your innings, you should be scoring at 110+ SR.

Still had the similar career strike rate as yuvraj singh and gautam gambhir even though started his career much earlier.
