Rohit Sharma's career is coming to an end! The bat is not working, coming very close to the shameful record

Rohit Sharma: The Indian team is in the news these days due to its poor performance in the 3 test match series against New Zealand. Team India has already lost the series by losing both the test matches and now the threat of a clean sweep is looming over them. The condition of the Indian team is also bad in the third Test being played in Mumbai. On the very first day, India lost 4 wickets for only 86 runs in its first innings.

In the Mumbai Test, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first. On the very first day of the Test, India all out New Zealand for 235 runs due to the brilliant bowling of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. Jadeja took 5 wickets and Sundar took 4 wickets. After this, captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal came to open the innings for Team India, but once proved to be a flop. Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring 18 runs. New Zealand bowler Matt Henry hunted Rohit. In this way, Rohit's bat remained silent for the third consecutive test.
