On the second day of the Melbourne Test being played between Australia and India, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed after scoring just 3 runs. Rohit has scored only 155 runs in the last 14 innings at an average of 11. He is constantly struggling for runs. In Melbourne too, Rohit Sharma changed his position and came out to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, this change was neither beneficial for Rohit Sharma nor could it give a good start to Team India. Rohit Sharma could stay on the pitch for only 5 balls and became a victim of Pat Cummins after scoring 3 runs.

Rohit has also joined the category of batsmen who have been dismissed most times by an opposing captain. Rohit has been sent to the pavilion by Pat Cummins 5 times. Imran Khan has sent Sunil Gavaskar, Richie Benaud has dismissed Ted Dexter and Pat Cummins has dismissed Rohit Sharma 5 times each. After this poor performance, the fans have also started asking for the retirement of Rohit Sharma on social media sites as well. Some advise him to retire from Tests, and some are talking about the end of his career. But some fans try to defend him by talking about him winning the T20 World Cup.

During the Melbourne Test, Australia created an imposing score in their first innings with a total of 474 runs. After the game ended on 311 runs on the first day, on the second day, Australia's captain Pat Cummins, and Steve Smith made the Indian bowlers yearn for wickets. India got the 7th success on the score of 411, and then India had to struggle to take the last 3 wickets. With this, the start of Team India was also not well and the first wicket went on the score of 8 runs. Till the news was written KL Rahul along with Yashasvi Jaiswal were present at the crease.
