Title: Guess the Cricketers Who Shared the Field with Rohit Sharma in Tests
Are you ready to test your knowledge about the cricketing world? We've got a exciting challenge for you! Can you name every single player who lined up alongside the legendary Rohit Sharma in Test cricket?
Before we dive in, let's take a trip down memory lane.
Rohit's Dazzling Test Journey
Rohit Sharma's Test career graced the field from 2013, with a splendid 45 matches to his name (according to stats available up until 2025). Rohit's testament to talent emerged during his debut, where he astonishingly racked up 177 runs, the second-highest by an Indian on their Test debut.
Although his 67-match career brought a rollercoaster of runs, it can be neatly divided into two distinctive phases. Until 2019, his journey was marked by inconsistency and frequent shifts in and out of the team. However, everything changed when Rohit was promoted as opener against South Africa in 2019.
Rohit's performance as an opener was incredible, with a staggering 2,552 runs at an average of 50.03. However, after the start of the home Bangladesh series last year, Rohit struggled, fetching just 145 runs in 12 innings and decided to drop himself from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy midway through the series. Despite his Test career coming to a halt, Rohit left an impressive mark, seizing the record of India's highest run-getter in the World Test Championship.
The Captain, The Leader
Rohit Sharma proved his prowess as captain too, boasting a commendable 12 wins out of 24 matches. India got as far as the 2021-23 World Test Championship (WTC) final under his leadership. Yet, their dreams of victory were dashed by Australia. The biggest blemish on his captaincy reign was the 3-0 whitewash against New Zealand, marking India's first home Test series defeat in a staggering 12 years.
Now, let's reunite Rohit with his trusted teammates.
