Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh raised concerns over skipper Rohit Sharma’s form and believes that it might affect his leadership skills in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series. Rohit was only able to score a total of 9 runs in the second Test of the series at the Adelaide oval where India ended up losing by 10 wickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 37-year-old’s Test form has been a talking point since India’s humiliating series whitewash against New Zealand at home. In that series, Rohit again disappointed with the bat and was only able to score 91 runs in 6 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harbhajan highlighted that Rohit’s poor form is a cause for concern and added that the batter not scoring runs will only end up putting more pressure on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When such a big player doesn’t score runs, it will become a slight cause for concern. We know that Rohit has great ability and has scored a lot of runs for India. However, he didn’t score runs in this match and the previous series as well. When the runs are not scored, the pressure comes on the batter,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We won’t want the Indian captain to have the pressure of scoring his own runs, as it could affect his captaincy as well. We hope that he comes back to form. The conditions at other venues like Brisbane might suit him more. He needs to leave this match behind and think about what better can be done going forward and how the team can play better because the team is more important than his form,” Harbhajan added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defeat in the Adelaide Test was Rohit’s fourth consecutive defeat as captain in the longest format which made him only the sixth Indian captain to lose 4 or more Tests in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
