Terrible shot from Rohit Sharma. Completely succumbed to the pressure.

A set Virat Kohli would not have panicked after 3 tight overs and thrown away his wicket. He would have absorbed the pressure and seen his team through.
There lies the difference between the two.…
Rohit Sharma is the most careless batsman; he always throws away his wicket.
