Rohit Sharma's poor form as captain in Test cricket continues.

Led by him, India suffered a 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Australia in the Adelaide Test.

This turned out to be Rohit's fourth consecutive Test defeat as India captain.

With it, Rohit equalled the unwanted feat of former India captains MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Datta Gaekwad.

Kohli, Dhoni and Gaekwad all have also lost four Test matches on trot while leading India.

Interestingly, Dhoni achieved the unwanted feat twice, in 2011 and in 2014.

Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi is the Indian captain with most consecutive Test defeats, that is 6.

Sachin Tendulkar is second in the list with the tally of 5.
