Rohit Sharma Matches Virat Kohli’s Unwanted Feat After Crushing Test Defeat
Australia secured a dominant 10-wicket victory over India in the second Test of the five-match series at Adelaide Oval. Chasing a modest target of 19 runs set by India in the fourth innings, the hosts achieved it effortlessly in just 3.2 overs without losing a wicket. The pink ball Test, played from December 6 to 8, ended in a humiliating loss for India, placing Rohit Sharma alongside Virat Kohli in an unwanted list.
Rohit, who succeeded Kohli as India’s captain in November 2021, became only the second Indian skipper after Kohli to lose matches in all three formats by a 10-wicket margin.
Under Kohli’s captaincy, India faced a similar Test defeat against New Zealand in Wellington (February 2020) and an ODI loss to Australia in Mumbai (January 2020). Kohli was also captain when India suffered their first-ever 10-wicket defeat in T20Is against Pakistan during the T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai.
