IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma Test record at Gabba

The third Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia at the Gaba ground in Brisbane from Saturday. It is important for India to win this match to keep their claim alive for the final of the World Test Championship.

IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma Test record at Gabba

In this match, all eyes will be on Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who has been struggling with poor form for a long time. His bat was also silent in Adelaide against Australia, where he could score only three runs in the first innings and only six runs in the second innings. Like other Indian batsmen, he was also criticized a lot after the match ended.

Rohit's record at Gabba

Not just his batting, his defensive approach has also raised questions on his captaincy. Considering all these things, it will not be easy for Rohit to bat at Brisbane's Gabba ground. Rohit has played two matches on this ground so far, in which he has scored only 83 runs at a modest average of 20.75. During this, his highest score has been 44 runs. If seen, Rohit has not been able to score a single half-century on this ground so far.

Not only the Border-Gavaskar series, Rohit's poor form continues from the Test series against Bangladesh as well. His poor form can be gauged from the fact that he has scored only one half-century in the last 12 Test innings. During this, his average has been just 11.83 and only 142 runs have come from his bat. If Rohit manages to hit 3 sixes in Gabba, he will hold the record for hitting the most sixes for India in Test cricket. Rohit has hit 88 sixes so far in his Test career, while former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has 90 sixes to his name.

What position will Rohit play in Gabba?

Rohit, who batted at number six instead of opening in Adelaide, can be seen playing at the same position in Gabba as well. This is because the Indian captain once again wants to try KL Rahul in opening. In Perth, India defeated the strong Kangaroo team by 295 runs on the basis of the opening pair partnership of Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, this pair could not repeat the same feat in the Pink Ball Test played in Adelaide, in which the team had to face defeat by 10 wickets.
