Rohit Sharma's struggles continue: India captain faces backlash from trolls and questioned again

New Delhi: India captain Rohit Sharma continued to face difficulties against the swinging deliveries from the Australian pacers as he batted at No. 6 in the 3rd Test. Despite a determined effort to add 10 runs on Day 4, Rohit was dismissed by a brilliant outswinger from Pat Cummins on the fifth stump. His low score once again sparked a flurry of memes on social media on Tuesday as fans reacted to his struggles at the crease.

Rohit joined the Indian team for the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, where he struggled with the bat. In the first innings of the Brisbane Test, the story was no different. Here’s the video:

Seeing the number of chances 37 and 36 year olds Rohit and Virat are getting even after multiple low scores, we should all feel that injustice was done with Pujara and Rahane. pic.twitter.com/st6eaYXktH

Ravi Shastri – “Rohit is ruining the legacy of our test team which Virat Kohli built in 7 years. This is disgraceful captaincy”

While the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled, KL Rahul showed exactly how to bat on the tricky Gabba surface. Rahul anchored the innings, holding one end together and contributing the most to India’s cause, despite lacking support from the other end.
