Rohit Sharma Set for a Tough Battle Against English Batsman: In the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) match between India and England at Rajkot, Rohit Sharma aims to surpass English batsman Joe Root in the total runs chart. While Rohit has not had a stellar series recently, he eyes this opportunity to climb up the WTC rankings by outshining Root.
Currently, Root leads the WTC run chart with 4039 runs in 49 matches, holding the ninth position. Rohit Sharma trails at the tenth position with 2242 runs in 29 matches. To move ahead of Root, Rohit needs only 14 more runs.
Given Rohit’s prowess with the bat, achieving this milestone should not be too challenging. However, the real challenge lies in the upcoming match where both players will be in action. Rohit needs to ensure that he scores at least 15 runs more than Root in this match to climb up the rankings.
An intriguing aspect is that Rohit Sharma is the only Indian batsman in the top 10 of the WTC run leaderboard. Virat Kohli currently stands at the 11th position with 2235 runs in 36 matches. With Kohli absent in the remaining series matches, Rohit has a strong chance to solidify his position and potentially move up in the rankings.
As the series progresses, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma. His personal performance will not only impact his individual ranking but will also contribute to the success of the Indian team in the ongoing Test series. The battle between Rohit Sharma and Joe Root promises to be a riveting subplot in the larger narrative of the WTC.
