Mark Waugh has given India captain Rohit Sharma a stark ultimatum, suggesting his Test career is at risk unless he delivers in his next innings. With just 155 runs in 14 innings since September, Sharma's slump is a concern.

Similar criticism for Rohit's choice of shot came from former Australia cricketer Darren Lehmann. "If he's going to hit it, hit it Rohit. You're a class player, you should actually take that on. Plenty of room in the outfield, take it on," he said on ABC Sport.

Rohit Sharma is desperate to score runs but his form is turning woeful with every passing day. Despite opening the innings in Melbourne, the Indian captain could only muster three runs before getting out to Pat Cummins playing a poor shot.

Rohit Sharma's below-par run in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has raised question marks over his future as a Test cricketer and he could take a call on his career if India fail to qualify for the World Test Championship final.

After Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 3 in the first innings in Melbourne, Ravi Shastri and Mark Waugh discussed the future of the Indian captain.
