Rohit Sharma has unfortunately tied an unwanted record in Test cricket by becoming one of the few Indian captains to lose four consecutive matches.

He now shares this dubious honor with legends like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar.

5 - Sachin Tendulkar (1999 vs AUS - Adelaide, Melbourne); (2000 vs AUS - Sydney), (vs SA - Mumbai, Bengaluru)
