Exposing weaknesses of 10 top cricketers

2. Rohit Sharma—Left-arm pacers

It's no secret that Rohit Sharma struggles with left-arm pace. The angle across him, combined with modest seam movement, disrupts his initial rhythm. Bowlers such as Boult, Starc, and Amir have regularly dismissed him in crucial matches using this strategy.

The issue is his sluggish footwork and hesitancy outside off. Captains are now opening with left-arm pacers to exploit this vulnerability. Though he's adjusted throughout the years, it still comes back, especially under pressure or in swinging situations, when the ball is new and the pitch is fresh.
