​About 6 months ago, hardly anyone would have thought that the coming time would prove to be a struggle for Rohit Sharma to save his career. Rohit, one of the most successful batsmen of Team India, is currently facing this crisis, where he is seen losing continuously. Rohit, who entered the Ranji Trophy to recover from his recent failure in Test cricket, was disappointed here too. After this one failure, Rohit now has barely 5-6 chances left, after which it will be difficult to respond.

Failed in the first innings of the Ranji Trophy

In the Test series against New Zealand and Australia, many batsmen including captain Rohit Sharma failed miserably. On the Australia tour, he could score only 31 runs in 5 innings. In such a situation, questions are being raised about his place in Test cricket. Rohit may have said that his career is not over yet, but the circumstances are not in his favor at the moment. To tilt these circumstances in his favor, he played a Ranji Trophy match after about 10 years, but things did not work out in the first attempt.

In the match between Mumbai and Jammu & Kashmir which started on Thursday, 23 January at Mumbai's BKC ground, Rohit faced 19 balls and scored just 3 runs and got out. Just like he got caught in the circle in Australia due to not being able to play a pull shot properly, Rohit lost his wicket here as well. In Melbourne, he was facing a legendary bowler like Pat Cummins but here he was facing an unknown pacer named Umar Nazir, who has now become famous overnight.

Rohit now has only 6 chances.

Looking at the current situation, it is hard to believe that about 10-11 months ago, this batsman had scored 2 centuries in the Test series against England. Then in the T20 World Cup, with strong captaincy and explosive batting, he made the team the world champion. Then in July, during the ODI series on the Sri Lanka tour, when the rest of the batsmen surrendered, Rohit was the only one scoring runs. But in the last 6 months, he has failed on every front.

After failing in the first innings of the Ranji Trophy match, Rohit has a maximum of 6 chances left where he will have to regain his rhythm. At present, he has the second innings of this match, in which his batting seems certain. After this, there is another Ranji match from January 30. If Rohit plays that too, then he can get to bat in 2 innings in that too. After this, he also has 3 ODI matches against England. If Rohit scores big in these 6 innings and regains some rhythm, then he and the team can get some relief before the Champions Trophy. If this does not happen then the Champions Trophy can be his last tournament with Team India.
