India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has said that there is slight concern around Rohit Sharma's batting since similar deliveries are catching him LBW or bowling him out, even as he is changing his stance. He added that his dwindling form with the bat might affect his captaincy and that won't augur well for India, who are on the verge of missing out on a spot in the finals of the World Test Championship.

Rohit expected a grand return to the Indian side, despite assuming middle-order duties for the first time in six years, but faced a hard-hitting reality as he managed scores of just three and six across both innings in the pink ball Test at the Adelaide Oval.

Pujara pointed out a major worry over how Rohit was dismissed in the two innings in the second Test. He was trapped LBW by Scott Boland in the first innings and bowled by a brilliant delivery from Australia counterpart Pat Cummins in the second.

"There is a slight concern. As an Indian fan, I want Rohit to regain his form as quickly as possible. As Bhajju pa (Harbhajan) said, the captain's batting is very important because it affects his captaincy as well. I am slightly concerned with the way Rohit Sharma is getting out," Pujara said while speaking on Star Sports.

"He got out lbw in the first innings and he opened up his stance in the second innings, so he got bowled there. He will have to work a little more on that line because, from the same spot, he is getting lbw to the ball that is coming in and bowled to the ball that is going away," Pujara added.

In the two Tests that Rohit has played in Brisbane, he has scored 32, 0, 44 and 7 and it will be crucial for him to better these numbers by a considerable margin to get the remainder of his Test career and his team back on track.
