Rohit's struggles were visible in the second ODI in Cardiff on Thursday, where England won by four wickets to level the three-match series 1-1. The opener never looked settled, scoring just 10 runs off 18 balls by the end of the Powerplay even as India raced to 61/1. He eventually made 26 off 47 balls before being dismissed while attempting a sweep against Will Jacks.
Rohit Sharma's struggles with timing, tempo and confidence have continued in the first two ODIs against England. With just 37 runs, prolonged dot-ball phases and visible discomfort against pace, the veteran opener's place in India's long-term ODI plans is beginning to invite serious scrutiny ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
