This incident happened after 16 years in Indian cricket, Captain Rohit saw such a bad day for the first time.
Two days of play have been completed in the Chennai Test match between India and Bangladesh. The second day of the match also went in the name of the Indian team, where the bowlers performed brilliantly. Bangladesh's first innings collapsed in just 47.1 overs. But by the end of the day's play, India also lost 3 wickets in its second innings, which included the wicket of captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit flopped in both the innings of this match and joined an unwanted list.
This incident happened after 16 years in Indian cricket.
The Chennai Test was not very special for Team India's captain Rohit Sharma as a batsman. Rohit was able to score only 6 runs in 19 balls in the first innings of this match. The situation was the same in the second innings as well and he returned to the pavilion after scoring 5 runs in 7 balls. That is, Rohit could not touch the double-digit mark in any innings of this Test match. With this, Rohit became the first Indian captain in the last 16 years to be out on single-digit in both innings of a domestic Test match.
Let us tell you, this is also the first time since 2015 that Rohit has been out on single digits in both innings of a home Test. At the same time, this is only the fourth time in his career that he could not touch the double-digit mark in both innings. Earlier in the year 2023, he was out on single digits in both innings during a Test match in South Africa.
Poor performance continues against Bangladesh.
Rohit's poor performance in the test against Bangladesh continues. This is Rohit Sharma's fourth test against Bangladesh. In these matches, Rohit has scored only 44 runs at an average of 8.80. During this, he has been out on single digits 4 times and 21 runs have come off his bat once.
Team India is in a strong position
After the first two days of play in the Chennai Test, Team India has come into a strong position. Team India had scored 376 runs in the first innings of this match.

At the same time, by the end of the second day's play, Team India scored 81 runs at the loss of 3 wickets in the second innings. In this way, now Team India's lead has increased to 308 runs.
