5 current limited overs specialists who've found it tough in Test cricket

#1 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma

The 'Hit-man' is one of the greatest ODI openers of all time, and his numbers in the limited overs format of the game are beyond spectacular. In 218 ODIs, Rohit Sharma has amassed a total of 8686 runs which includes a stunning 27 centuries.

Rohit's deeds in T20 cricket are at par with his performances in ODI cricket. The Indian opener has four 100s to his name - the most by any batsman in the shortest format of the game.

Looking at Rohit's record in the limited-overs format and then comparing it with Test cricket, you realize that the disparity is real. The Indian had a decent start to his Test career as he scored 177 on his debut against West Indies at Eden Gardens in 2013. But that remains his finest Test innings till date as he has failed to continue his exploits - leading to his eventual ouster from the side.

In 27 Tests, the Indian stalwart has scored a measly 1585 runs - a disappointing sum for a world-class batsman.
