rollingstoned Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Rohit Sharma breaks down in MI dressing room, shattered Indian captain's visuals send shockwaves In his last five IPL matches, Rohit Sharma managed only 34 runs, which included four single-digit scores. The MI great was seen breaking down during SRH match. 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 Sharma was dismissed for just four runs against SRH 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. Rohit was disgruntled at his dismissal for yet another low score as he walked back to the pavilion with his head down. The cameras later caught him almost teary-eyed in the MI dressing room. Social media was abuzz with images and videos of Rohit breaking down inside the MI dressing room Heading into the game against Sunrisers, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra reckoned that Rohit lost his rhythm after making a strong start to the season, which has left him quite concerned with the T20 World Cup just round the corner. "I am first focusing on Rohit Sharma because in the last four games - Rajasthan, Delhi, Lucknow and the last game here vs KKR - I think his highest score is probably 11. This does not go well. He had a good start to the tournament, 300-325 runs were scored, struck a century as well at this ground but after that, he has just fallen off the radar. You don't want that," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Rohit will still get two more chances in IPL 2024 to find his form before Indian players leave for the USA, where they will play their opening game on June 5 against Ireland.

singhvivek141 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 PR drama starts.. I remember seeing the same article post 2023 ODI WC loss as well.. A week later son of Sharmaji came up with statement that "If selectors don't want to include him for T20, he should be informed upfront". Truth is these guys don't care, they have all the luxury of the world at their feet, yet they don't want to work hard on the game which has given them all this name and fame. They're just trying to stay in news no matter what, and gullible teenage fans will start emotional trends on the SM for their support.

I just think that - as international class star players - they have a strong self-belief that has brought them success all their lives. The same self-belief becomes a double-edged sword. They think that this loss of form is just another setback like the ones they have overcome before. In my opinion, it is not intentional selfishness, it is just a lack of self-awareness. Most importantly, there is a lack of courage on the part of the selectors and admins to tell them the truth. nitinbwj and AuxiliA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right, but the frustration and restlessness is at its peak with these folks now. From last 10 years, we haven't won anything on ICC end...every team has won something or the other, but they keep on choking it at every moment and yet don't agree to let it go. There is a very thin line between confidence and over confidence. The way these guys portray themselves isn't self belief but rather arrogance. Why does someone like Rohit or Kohli or Jadeja when they see new young player don't think how useful he can be for the team..why the hell they need to play in every freaking match when they simply can't match a Head, Klassen, Mitchell Marsh, JFMG in power and hitting ability..can they not see it ? None of Kohli or Rohit have scored 50 in 16 balls even during their prime...what guarantee is they will do at the age when they're getting old and their ability is getting limited every day. Old guard is good for the pitches where 150-170 is target.. the moment it crossed 220-230 mark, Kohli & Rohit are not equipped to play at that pace.
