The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team suffered a crushing 10-wicket loss against Australia in the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide. With this, India have now lost four consecutive Test matches under Rohit's captaincy. The 37-year-old Sharma has joined the unwanted list featuring MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, who have lost most Test matches on the trot as captain of Indian men's cricket team. Here's a list of India captains who have lost four or more Test matches in a row:
