India Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma fumbled with the bat yet again. The hitman has been in lukewarm form off later. Save the 131 in Rajkot he hasn’t managed a single fifty in the IND vs ENG Test series. A similar trend followed when he dismissed for just 2 runs in the IND vs ENG Ranchi Test.
England’s most dependable bowler James Anderson struck early to dismiss the Indian skipper. England piled up a huge score of 353 runs in the first innings. India hoping for a great start fumbled. A slight nick from a dangerous ball by James Anderson was enough to dispatch Rohit Sharma.
Post the ODI World Cup, Rohit Sharma’s form has seen a substantial dip in Test cricket. The same was observed during the India tour of South Africa. Come the IND vs ENG series, he managed just a century in Rajkot, save that his highest remains 39 in the Hyderabad Test.

With this wicket James Anderson is inching closer to a mega record. He is now just 3 wickets shy of scalping 700 Test wickets. He will become only the third bowler to scalp 700 wickets in red ball cricket if he managed 3 more wickets. A clever ball nipping towards the batter, saw Rohit give a slight edge, as Ben Foakes takes a simple catch to claim the big fish. In Tests, it was the 4th time that Anderson has scalped Rohit.
