Rohit Sharma scored 115 against South Africa in 5th ODI

Rohit Sharma was the biggest flop for team India during the 2-month long tour to South Africa. Before the South African series, Rohit scored centuries in each form. He played ahead of Rahane in the first two Test matches and could not score big runs.

In the four test innings, Rohit Sharma made just 78 runs with the top score of 47 runs in the second innings of 2nd test at Centurion.

He struggled in the One-day international series also with 170 runs in 6 matches. He made 115 during the 5th ODI at Port Elizabeth and helped team India post a competitive total. The Indian cricket team won that match by 73 runs. Apart from that, Rohit Sharma made 55 runs in 5 matches with an average of 11

Again in the T20I series, he could not give India good starts and scored just 32 runs in 3 matches.

Overall, Rohit Sharma scored 280 runs from 13 innings at an average of 21.5 which is not good for such a top quality batsman.
