’10, 20, 30 runs ko consistency maan rahe’ – Fans react as Rohit Sharma sets record for streak of double-digit scores in Test cricket
Ever since Rohit Sharma became an opener in Test cricket, he has been phenomenal in the longest format of the game for India. As an opening batter, Rohit Sharma has 2092 runs in 41 innings, at a batting average of 53.64, including 7 hundred and 6 fifty. The Indian captain has brought the required stability at the top with the bat.
In the ongoing series against West Indies, Sharma has been exceptional with the bat. In 3 innings, the 36-year-old scored 240 runs, at a stunning average of 80.00, including a hundred and 2 fifties. In the first Test in Dominica, Rohit scored 103 runs in 221 deliveries. In the second Test in Port of Spain, Sharma scored 80(143) in the first innings and a quickfire 57 in 44 deliveries in the second innings.
Record streak of double-digit scores
For a long time, Rohit has been the best batter for India in Test cricket, along with Rishabh Pant. India’s tour of England in 2021 saw the best version of Rohit Sharma in away Tests. From the start of the year 2021, Rohit has been phenomenal with the bat. In the last 30 innings in Test cricket, Rohit has never been dismissed for a single-digit score, which is the new record for any batter in Test cricket.
In the last 30 innings, Rohit Sharma’s scores read 12, 161, 26, 66, 25*, 49, 34, 30, 36, 12*, 83, 21, 19, 59, 11, 127, 29, 15, 46, 120, 32, 31, 12, 12, 35, 15, 43, 103, 80, and 57. In the period, the opening batter has 4 hundred and 5 fifty-plus scores. These are phenomenal numbers for any batter.
Most of these scores have come against top teams like Australia, New Zealand, and England, which makes the feat a lot more special. The recent knock against West Indies showed how Rohit can bat according to the situation. The Indian captain took on the bowlers of the West Indies and scored runs quickly. The Mumbai batter hit boundaries at will and against the swing.

No doubt Rohit has capitalized on the chances he got, but no one can deny that not many cricketers in India have been given such backing during the initial years
