Rohit Sharma is one of the biggest names in world cricket. The Hitman has made a name for himself with his incredible performances for the Indian cricket team and the Mumbai Indians in the matches. Sharma has been India’s all-format captain for the last two years now.
His batting style has changed under his captaincy, with the Hitman taking more risks than ever. However, he still remains an elusive wicket for the bowler. Here’s a list of the top five bowlers who have dismissed Rohit for the most times in international cricket.
5. Trent Boult has dismissed Rohit Sharma 8 times
Sharma has had issues when playing against left-arm fast bowlers across all formats. The Hitman has lost his wicket eight times when batting against New Zealand’s star left-arm speedster Trent Boult.
4. Nathan Lyon has dismissed Rohit Sharma 9 times
It is rare to see a spinner having a great record against Sharma, but Australian great Nathan Lyon has dominated against him. Lyon has accounted for his wicket nine times in international cricket.
3. Angelo Mathews – 10
Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Mathews bowls medium-pace but gets wickets because of his accurate line and length. Mathews has dismissed Rohit 10 times in international cricket so far.
2. Tim Southee – 12
Another fast bowler who gets more wickets because of accuracy and swing to feature on the list is New Zealand’s Tim Southee. The right-arm pace bowler has sent Sharma back to the dressing room 12 times.
