Southee's delivery, bowled at a good length around the middle and off stump, moved away off the seam just enough to catch Rohit off guard. As Rohit attempted to defend, the ball slipped past the edge and clipped the top of the off stump after a deflection off his back pad. This wicket not only silenced the Pune crowd but also marked the fourth time Southee has dismissed Rohit in Test cricket, a significant feat for the New Zealand pacer.

With this dismissal, Southee joins an exclusive list of bowlers who have troubled Rohit Sharma the most in Test matches. Nathan Lyon of Australia tops the list, having dismissed the Indian captain nine times. Lyon's consistent ability to exploit spin-friendly conditions has often put Rohit on the back foot, making him one of the most successful bowlers against the Indian star.

Following Lyon, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has dismissed Rohit seven times, with a combination of pace, bounce, and movement proving difficult for the Indian opener. England's left-arm spinner, Jack Leach, also figures prominently, having sent Rohit back to the pavilion five times, often using subtle variations and turn to outsmart the batter.

James Anderson, another legendary English bowler, has dismissed Rohit four times in Tests, as has Australia's Pat Cummins, both renowned for their pinpoint accuracy and movement off the pitch. Alongside them now stands Tim Southee, whose consistent performances against India have made him one of the most dangerous pacers in the world.

As Rohit continues his career, he'll look to overcome these challenges and improve his record against these bowlers. For now, however, it is clear that some of the best bowlers in the world have found ways to keep the Indian captain in check during the longest format of the game.
