Rohit had started well but then suddenly he went on the backfoot.
Rohit Sharma’s bad batting
Everything was going well with Rohit Sharma in the Cardiff ODI but then in the 17th over the player suddenly started craving a run. Sam Curran bowled a complete maiden over to Rohit Sharma. He bowled wicket to wicket to Rohit Sharma and this player could not score a single run. After this, Rohit Sharma played three consecutive dot balls of Will Jacques and on the fourth ball, he lost his wicket while trying to play a sweep shot. Rohit Sharma played a total of 47 balls and was able to score runs at a strike rate of only 55.32.
Such a bad situation for the first time since 2014
Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma played 29.1 percent bad shots in his innings in Cardiff ODI. For the first time since 2014, Rohit’s percentage of bad shots has been so high. It is clear that Rohit Sharma is not in good form and if he continues playing like this then it will be difficult for him to remain in the team till the World Cup 2027. Because Team India has kept out a batsman like Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Rohit Sharma’s struggle
Rohit Sharma is struggling a lot in ODI cricket this year. These players have been able to score only 241 runs in 8 innings in 2026. His batting average is 30.12 and he has been able to score only one half-century.
