Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, most senior players of the current Indian team
Reportedly both of them are considered to be the 2 strongest pillars of the indian team, but in the year 2024, they are struggling with such form due to which people have started advising them to retire. In the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024, kohli and Rohit have scored 18 and 9 runs respectively in both the innings. Their failure has also been a major reason for Team India's 10-wicket defeat. Now some such figures have come to the fore, which prove Virat-Rohit to be the worst batsmen of 2024.
When talking about rohit sharma, he has batted in 23 Test innings this year, in which his average is only 27.13. He has scored 597 runs this year, which includes two centuries and only 2 fifties. Rohit is second in the list of indian batsmen with the worst Test average in 2024. At the top comes virat kohli, who has scored only 373 runs in 16 Test innings so far this year. His average in 2024 is just 26.64. This year, only one century and one half-century have come from his bat.
virat kohli - 26.64
rohit sharma - 27.13
KL rahul - 34.63
Moreover especially for rohit sharma, it is becoming difficult to even connect the ball and bat. From 2012-2022, rohit sharma batted in 77 innings, in which he was bowled out 11 times. From 2023-2024, he has played 36 innings so far, in which he has been bowled out 11 times. The statistics clearly show that Rohit is struggling to score runs. On the other hand, if we look at virat kohli, he recently completed 9,000 Test runs, but looking at his recent form, he may have to wait a long time to reach the 10,000 run mark.
