Indian opener Rohit Sharma returned to the Indian Test team after a long wait of 11 months. The expectations of the fans with Rohit Sharam were very high. However, Rohit couldn’t utilise the opportunity he bagged in the first game against Australia in Adelaide. After throwing away his wicket casually in the first innings, Rohit fell prey to Nathan Lyon once again after scoring just 1 run.
Rohit moved down the line but got undone by the turn and bounce on Lyon’s off break on 92nd over. The ball struck the pad and took a tiny chunk of the blade before flying towards Peter Handscomb who reacted superbly to knock him out. It was the fourth time, Rohit Sharma removed by Nathan Lyon in his test career.. Earlier on day1, Rohit decided to hit him again the very next delivery for some inexplicable reason but Harris took the catch this time easily without moving an inch.
Following his dismissals, social media erupted again to criticise his performance, demanding his axing from the team. Tweetries even compared the opener with politican rahul Gandhi. Check out Tweet below-
