Rohit Sharma, on Tuesday (April 30), failed to deliver with the bat again as he departed cheaply in the ongoing game between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
LSG captain KL Rahul won the toss and opted to bowl first. The onus was on Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan to give their team a good start with the bat. However, the former Mumbai Indians skipper failed to get going with the bat once again as he was dismissed by Mohsin Khan for just four runs in the second over.
It was a full-length delivery from Mohsin Khan and Rohit Sharma ended up hitting the shot straight to Marcus Stoinis at the cover. The veteran batsman departed after scoring just four runs. It is his third consecutive single-digit score in the ongoing IPL 2024. In the previous two games, he had scored 6 and 8 against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals respectively.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Rohit Sharma's failure:
