Team India Top Order Performance IND vs AUS in BGT 2024: The last test match of the Border-Gavaskar series is being played between India and Australia. Just a day before this, there was news of captain Rohit Sharma not playing in the Sydney Test and something similar happened, Rohit was rested in the fifth Test and Jasprit Bumrah, who captained in Perth, has returned to the role. In the four matches played so far, Australia has taken a 2-1 lead in the series. Team India was successful in winning the first match played in Perth due to its strong performance. Till now, the top order flop proved to be the biggest loss in the team’s defeat.

This is how Team India’s top order flopped

Despite the shocking decision taken by the Indian team management regarding the playing 11 in the last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, the picture of the team changed but its fate does not seem to be changing. A similar situation was seen in the fifth test also. In Rohit’s absence, KL Rahul came with Yashasvi Jaiswal but could not change the fate of Team India.

Talking about both the opening batsmen, Yashasvi (10) and KL Rahul returned to the pavilion after scoring 4 runs, after this it was the turn of Shubman Gill who came in place of Rohit Sharma in the series decider but after facing 64 balls, he got the chance. After scoring only 20 runs, he became the victim of Nathan Lyon and Team India got its third blow at the score of 57 runs and then India did not have to wait long to lose another wicket and Virat Kohli. Once again he proved to be a flop and became the fourth victim for Australia and India’s score became four wickets for 72 runs.

Rohit Sharma’s performance in BGT series

Rohit’s exclusion from the Sydney Test in the current BGT is due to his poor form and struggle to score runs. The experienced opening batsman has scored only 31 runs in five innings at an average of 6.20 in the ongoing series against Australia. Rohit has been facing criticism for his Test batting since the Bangladesh series.

Rohit’s captaincy figures in Tests for India

Rohit Sharma has so far captained India in 24 Test matches, in which Team India has won 12 matches, lost 9 and drawn 3 matches, according to which India’s winning percentage is 50%, Rohit’s captaincy is based on these figures. From this point of view, he is better than other Indian captains who have captained in 10 or more matches in Test cricket.

Rohit’s captaincy has not worked well abroad

Talking about Rohit Sharma’s record as a Test captain, these figures are disappointing, under his captaincy India has played 8 matches in which it has won 2, drawn 2 and lost 4 matches.
