IND vs SL: 'Need to show hunger like Virat Kohli,' Gautam Gambhir concerned about Rohit Sharma's long-century drought

IND vs SL: India captain Rohit Sharma has now gone 50 innings without scoring a hundred in international cricket. Rohit was dismissed on 42 in the third and final ODI vs Sri Lanka where India registered ODI cricket's biggest win by runs.

Pressure on struggling skipper

Rohit was dismissed on 42 in the final ODI and this has brought a lot of criticism by the former players and cricket expert at the time when everyone else is scoring runs and Ishan Kishan is sitting on bench after scoring an ODI double hundred.

Gambhir raises concern on Rohit's form

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has now raised concerns on Rohit Sharma's long-century drought.

"We should talk in the same phase. Virat Kohli didn't get a hundred for three and a half years. I think Rohit should be kicking himself. It will be equally hard on Rohit Sharma as well. 50 innings are a lot, it's not like he didn't get a hundred in one or two games. If you look at the last (ODI) World Cup, one thing is missing from his game and it's the ability to get those hundreds," Gambhir said during the mid innings show.

Gambhir said the Indian captain now has to show the hunger like Kohli, who has been in red hot form.

"Rohit Sharma looks in good touch no doubt about that. However, he needs to convert these starts into big knocks. Virat has found his form, and now he needs to show the same hunger. His and Virat's form will be key if India want to all the way this time," he added.

Rohit's last international century came in September 2021 vs England at the Oval.
