[ad_1] Rohit Sharma in Adelaide (Image: Debasis Sen) / Harmanpreet Kaur (Image: Cricket Aus) Captains need to lead from the front. In difficult away tours more so. At the moment neither of India’s captains, men or women, are doing the job. Rohit Sharma needs to score and do so in Brisbane while Harmanpreet Kaur has been consistently inconsistent for months now. It is time to ask the hard questions and also seek some accountability. There is a lot of social media garbage calling for Rohit’s head. We know it is troll talk. But in all of it no one can miss the fact that Rohit isn’t performing. More, the way he is getting out raises serious questions about his confidence. Can he step up at the Gabba and lead by example? Should be come up the order again and open the batting? What should be his approach given that he is acutely short of runs? And is it impacting his captaincy? Each one of these questions need to be asked and should be asked. In fact, I was a little surprised to not hear Rohit address questions relating to his own form in the post-match press conference. Make no mistake, he is the captain of India. For him team should come first. And that’s why he has to step up. Brisbane is his opportunity and perhaps the last one. If India lose in Brisbane the pressure on Rohit could well turn unbearable. He needs to believe that he can do the job and accept that he hasn’t been upto the mark. Spend time at the nets, get himself game ready mentally and step out at the Gabba in Brisbane in five days from now. Rohit Sharma PC: The door is very much open for Shami. We are monitoring him” – Rohit Sharma after the Pink Ball Test Loss! @CricSubhayan @BoriaMajumdar @debasissen @rohitjuglan #RohitSharma | #PinkBallTest | #BordergavaskarTrophy | #MohammadShamihttps://t.co/TiwnZlRWYY — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) December 8, 2024   In 2021, Ajinkya Rahane watched Sachin Tendulkar’s 1999 Melbourne innings multiple times before going out to bat in the Boxing Day Test. Captain Ajinkya’s hundred set things up for India. Sachin, in 2003, wasn’t scoring runs going into Sydney. At the SCG, he curbed his ego and scored an unbeaten 241 not out. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Rohit to have a word with Sachin about batting in Australia. In fact, he can even walk up to Ravi Shastri and have a quiet word. Ravi was the one who got him to open and shares a superb relationship with Rohit. He is there as a commentator and a quiet dinner could help Rohit. Coming to Harmanpreet, it is a problem that is deep rooted. She hasn’t performed in months and when it comes to important games, the team is always found wanting. The World Cup was a disaster and with another just under a year away, Harmanpreet should start to see the writing on the wall. Scoring in one home game in a home series against New Zealand can never be enough and between her and Smriti, India expect more. 100 all out in the first game and losing the second by more than 100 runs against Australia looks abominable and both captain and coach need to take accountability. While India need Harmanpreet the batter, we should surely ask the question if she is better off as a batter than as a leader? A home World Cup loss will push the game back further and the time to act is now. While for Rohit it is Brisbane, for Harmanpreet it could be the next few months. Sport is about performance and both need to make it count or leave others to do so.

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma in action in the nets (PC: Debasis Sen) For a cricket team, there are few dilemmas greater than when a captain is out of form. There have been rare exceptions in the game’s history, like England’s Mike Brearley, who were picked for their leadership nous alone, but by and large, a struggling captain can lead to an uncomfortable dressing room. In Rohit Sharma’s case, he wasn’t part of the epic Test win in Perth, one of the finest in India’s history. But now, as we head into the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, he will return. Where does he play, and can he break out of a lean trot that has seen him accumulate a miserable 133 runs in his last ten innings? Rohit has played more than half his innings, and scored nine of his 12 centuries, while opening the batting. But after Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul put on 201 in the second innings at the Optus Stadium to set the match up for India, it’s unthinkable that they will be separated in Adelaide. In the early part of his career, Rohit was a middle-order batter, and such is Australia’s wariness of Rishabh Pant’s game-changing qualities that it might make sense for Rohit to slot in at No. 6, behind the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter. He averages more at No. 6 (54.57) than at any other position, and has scored his other three hundreds there. Against a softening pink ball that has lost its sheen, he could well take a heavy toll. It certainly seems a more sensible option that exposing him to a new pink ball that will zip around, especially under lights. The worry for India is that Rohit has seldom excelled away from home. There was a marvellous 127 at The Oval in 2021 and a century in Dominica last year, but each of his other hundreds has come at home. An away average in the low 30s is indicative of his struggles. In 30 innings across Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, he has a highest score of 72. A comparison with a Mumbai stalwart of another era is especially instructive. Ravi Shastri was Rohit’s coach when he established himself as India’s Test opener, and they have fairly similar numbers. Shastri’s average of 35.79 was lower, but he made 11 centuries in 121 innings. More importantly, he had a nose for the big occasion, scoring a double-century in Sydney and two hundreds apiece in Pakistan and West Indies, then the most forbidding tours of all. Anyone who has witnessed Rohit’s full repertoire of strokes knows that talent is not the issue. Application and discipline can be. Let’s not forget too that Rohit scored two Test hundreds earlier this year against England, in Rajkot and Dharamsala. The problem is that he has been dismissed for 20 or less in 12 of his 20 completed red-ball innings in 2024. After leading the team to a World Cup final and then to T20 World Cup glory, no one is about to quibble about Rohit’s leadership credentials. But with Shubman Gill to come back into the team and other talented youngsters on the periphery, the captain needs runs. A generation ago, Sourav Ganguly answered innumerable queries about his short-ball frailties with perhaps his finest Test innings of all, at the Gabba in Brisbane. Rohit needs to find a similar riposte in Adelaide, even if it doesn’t come at the top of the order.  Also read:  With Australia under pressure to make a comeback in the Adelaide Test, Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, and Travis Head hit the nets on Monday#PinkBallTest #AustraliavsIndia @CricSubhayan https://t.co/lCHNPpJUlS — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) December 2, 2024 For more sports content : RevSportz The post Rohit Sharma needs to reprise Ganguly at the Gabba, for himself and the team appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.
