India vs Australia, 1st Test: 6 Key Takeaways

#6 Perform or Perish for Rohit Sharma

A shambolic shot in the first innings and a second innings failure was probably not the way Rohit Sharma expected the first Test to pan out.

There are no two ways to put it - Rohit Sharma was under tremendous amount of pressure heading into this series. He has been afforded numerous opportunities at the Test level but his performances have just not been up to the mark.

To amplify the situation, Rohit played a horrendous heave against Nathan Lyon to lose his wicket at a crucial juncture in the first innings.

These things add up for sure and they are adding up for Rohit. This series would probably be the last time Rohit would be given a chance to resurrect his fleeting Test career and if he's not able to impress, that could be it for him as far as Test cricket is concerned
