Rohit Sharma eyeing to break the jinx against Bangladesh in Test
India will play 2-match test series against Bangladesh in Sept.
With more than a month break to revive themselves, team India will play a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh at home from September 19, in which all eyes will also be on the performance of captain Rohit Sharma. So far, team India’s skipper Rohit hasn't had an impressive record against Bangladesh in the game's longest format.
The 37-year-old right-handed opening batter Rohit Sharma who has been in sublime touch with the bat since the 2023 World ODI series, hasn’t given much chances by Bangladeshi bowlers to open his wings against them in test matches. The World T20 Series-winning skipper Rohit Sharma has a long rest of about 40 days after the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka ended. While returning to the red format they will be eyeing for a solid result Bangladesh to be in the race for the World Test Series final.
Indian team is currently at the number-1 position in the points table of the World Test Series 2023-25 and team India will try to win this series by 2-0 to remain in the race for the final. At the same time, everyone's eyes will also be on the performance of Indian team captain Rohit Sharma because a total of 10 Test matches are to be played in the next 4-5 months. In such a situation, it is very important for Team India for captain Rohit to be in form.
The Northpaw star batter bat has been seen speaking fiercely in the Test format in the last few years, but his stats against Bangladesh have been very surprising. Rohit Sharma has so far played a total of 3 matches against Bangladesh in the Test format, in which he has managed to score only 33 runs in three innings at an average of 11. India’s skipper has scored the highest score of 21 runs against Bangladesh in Tests. So far, he has played against a total of 7 teams in the Test format, out of which Bangladesh is the only team against which he has not scored a half-century or a century.
After playing a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, India will play a 3-match Test series against New Zealand as well. If we look at the batting form of skipper Rohit Sharma at home, it has been quite brilliant, he has so far scored 2402 runs in 45 innings of 29 Test matches at an average of 61.59, which includes 10 centuries and 7 half-century innings. He is currently the top-ranked batter in the test for India by claiming sixth position.
