#6 Rohit Sharma
Dhawan’s prolific one-day opening partner, who will get a chance to revive his career as a Test opener when the latest Test series gets under way, has even more pathetic numbers. Rohit Sharma has played 12 innings across six Tests but has managed to accumulate a paltry 149 runs at an average of 12.41.
His highest of 47 came in the most recent Test encounter between the two sides at Centurion in January 2018. Rohit’s overall Test numbers are much more acceptable in comparison -- 27 Tests, 1585 runs at an average of 39.62.
#5 Murali Vijay
The former India opener, who was a permanent feature in India’s Test team for quite a few years, also struggled when it came to taking on South Africa. Murali Vijay featured in 12 Tests against South Africa but across 22 innings could only gather 531 runs with two fifties at an average of 25.28.
His highest was 97 at Durban in December 2013. As an accomplished opener, much better was expected of him.
