IND vs NZ 3rd Test: Last chance for Rohit Sharma to perform before Border Gavaskar Trophy

In the 2024 Calendar year, Rohit Sharma has scored 2 Test hundred back in January in the IND vs ENG Test series

Rohit Sharma has been poor in Test cricket for the India Cricket Team. And his latest first with Bangladesh and New Zealand in Tests has raised major concerns for the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy. And now this can be last chance for Rohit Sharma to get some much needed form and momentum before the mega IND vs AUS Test series.

Massive concerns for Rohit Sharma

Off late, Rohit Sharma has been in a poor string of form. Against Bangladesh he managed three single-digit scores with a highest score of 23 in Kanpur.

Cut to the IND vs NZ Test series, the conditions worsened. India went on to lose the Test series to the Black Caps 2-0. But the hosts now look en route to salvage something a win the last Test match in Mumbai. In the first game, he scored 2 and 52 in Bengaluru. In the next game at Pune, he scored a duck and followed it with a 8-run knock.

At his home ground at Wankhede, he managed to score 18 runs in the first innings. And now with the last innings remaining, Rohit Sharma would be desperately looking to perform well.
