India vs New Zealand 2016: 5 Talking Points from the 4th ODI in Ranchi

#3 – Rohit’s intriguing form

Rohit’s indifferent run extended to Ranchi as well

Among the key batsmen in India’s limited-overs batting lineup, Rohit Sharma’s repeated failures during the series have had a huge impact on the hosts. The opener could not account for the movement generated by Tim Southee and fell prey in the fifth over. From four matches, he has managed to tally only 53 runs thus making matters worse for the hosts.

Interestingly, his fortunes have been in complete contrast to the Test series wherein he had scored a half-century in each of the three matches. Normally ineffective in Tests and reliable in the white-ball formats, Rohit‘s form is starting to veer towards the opposite.
