"Rohit Sharma is a walking wicket now" - Fans blast India skipper for failure vs NZ in CT 2025

Fans on Twitter reacted after India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma failed in the ongoing game against New Zealand National Cricket Team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The match between the teams is underway at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma yet again bagged a low score in an attempt to raise the tempo of the scoring in the powerplay. The opening batter started well as he attacked Matt Henry and played some gorgeous-looking shots in his innings.

Rohit Sharma perished to Kyle Jamieson in the 6th over of the innings

Rohit Sharma took the first few balls to assess the pitch, but after that, he hit Matt Henry for a four on pull and also stepped out to hit a massive six. The India National Cricket Team skipper looked in a murderous mood, but his attacking approach led to his downfall once again.

Rohit Sharma perished to Kyle Jamieson in the 6th over of the innings. The New Zealand National Cricket Team pacer bowled a short length delivery outside off, to which the batter's eye lit up, and with the weight on the front foot, he looked to play his favourite pull shot.

However, he didn't get the proper connection as the ball took the bottom of the bat and went just over the head of Will Young at mid-wicket who took an easy catch to send the India National Cricket Team skipper packing in the last league game of ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Rohit Sharma played an innings of 15 runs off 17 balls

Rohit Sharma played an innings of 15 runs off 17 balls. He managed one four and one six during his stay at the cease. With his wicket, India National Cricket Team lost their second wicket and were left reeling at 22/2 with both the openers back in the hut.

Rohit Sharma hasn't been able to score big in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The skipper of the team started the tournament with a 41-run knock in the game against Bangladesh and then followed it up with scores of 20 and 15 against Pakistan and New Zealand.

Rohit Sharma is a walking wicket. Now he can only do pinch hitting vs new ball in powerplay.
