How Many Times Rohit Sharma Got Out in 90s? Nervous Nineties by Hitman

Rohit Sharma, the “Hitman” of Indian cricket, is known for his explosive batting and record-breaking innings. However, a recurring and one of the most frustrating patterns in his career has been the “nervous 90s” – dismissals within mere inches away from a century.
