Rohit Sharma's poor form raises World Cup concerns

in5points
  1. Rohit Sharma has scored just 37 runs in two ODIs against England, with a strike rate of 54.41.

  2. He faced 47 balls in the second ODI, with 60% dot balls, and laboured against pace bowlers including Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue.

  3. Rohit's repeated indecision and beaten edges against 140+ kmph deliveries have raised concerns about his form.

  4. His struggles with timing and tempo have made him 'a walking wicket' ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.

  5. India's ODI plans now face scrutiny over Rohit's place given his prolonged dot-ball phases and lack of fluency.
