Fans Brutally Troll Rohit Sharma for Another Failure
Rohit Sharma registered an unwanted record to his name after getting out on zero in the Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians match. Batting first, the 5-time IPL champions made a tactical change in their batting order. With the overcast conditions helping with the swing, Cameron Green was promoted up the order to bat alongside Ishan Kishan. However, the move wasn’t the best strategy as Rohit Sharma had to come out to bat in the second over itself.
MS Dhoni in order to trap Rohit Sharma set up a perfect field for his dismissal. With a slower delivery, Rohit attempted to play a shot over short fine leg but mistimed it. This resulted in the ball taking the outside edge, clipping his thumb, and lobbying toward the gully region. Ravindra Jadeja, stationed at the backward point, ran in comfortably and completed the catch. This marked the second duck for Rohit Sharma this year in the IPL as well as his 16th duck in the history of the IPL.
