Rohit Sharma's batting record at No 6 in Test cricket

Rohit Sharma batting at No 6 after almost six years, didn't have great returns as he was dismissed for 3 and 6 in the two innings by Scott Boland and his counterpart Pat Cummins respectively

Overall, however, Rohit has a great record at No 6, the position where he began his Test career for India before moving to the opening spot

Overall, Rohit has batted in 27 innings in Test cricket at No 6 and has 1,046 runs to his name at an average of 49.8 (with his average dropping below 50 at that batting number for the first time)

Rohit slammed his maiden ton on debut against the West Indies batting at No 6 and overall has three centuries and six fifties batting in the middle order at that position

In 27 innings at No 6 in Tests, Rohit has 11 single-digit scores to his name including a couple of ducks. Two single-digit scores out of those 11 have come in this Test only

Rohit Sharma's scores in Test cricket at No 6 - 177, 111*, 0, 28, 6, 43, 6, 32, 0, 2, 23, 1, 35, 68*, 2, 82, 51*, 102*, 65, 50*, 47, 37, 1, 63*, 5, 3, 6

Rohit Sharma's time as captain and a batter in the Indian Test team seems to be running out and the Adelaide Test and the way it has transpired, India will need to take a call regarding his future in the format quickly because this loss almost puts dent on their WTC final qualification chances as well
