There seems to be no end in sight for Rohit Sharma's misery.
The India captain suffered another failure with the bat as he was dismissed for just 2 in the first One-Day International against England in Nagpur on Thursday.
Rohit miscued the flick shot off pacer Saqib Mahmood as he skied it high on the leg side, with Liam Livingstone completing a simple catch at mid-on, in the sixth over.
It continues Rohit's horror run with the bat in the last few months.
The last time he went past the 50-run mark was five months ago, when he scored 52 against New Zealand during the Bengaluru Test in October.
He has managed just 70 runs in 10 innings in international cricket, including nine in Tests and one in ODIs.
Rohit's scores since the Pune Test in October:
He also failed to rediscover his batting form during the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, as he was dismissed for just 3 and 28, while in the practice match against Australian PM's XI in Canberra in November, he managed just three.
