Twitter goes savage on Rohit Sharma after yet another failure on South African tour

India’s premier limited over format batsman, Rohit Sharma, suffered yet another failure to put an end to his forgetful tour of South Africa. After holding the reputation of being Kagiso Rabada’s bunny, Rohit Sharma turned out to be rookie Junior Dala’s bunny.

Barring the century at Port Elizabeth in the ODI series, Sharma’s batting technique has been exposed in the seaming conditions of South Africa. The Mumbai batsman had nowhere to hide when playing against Rabada who dismissed on more than seven occasions throughout the tour.

Just when he could breathe in a sigh of relief with him out of the squad in the T20I squad for South Africa, the hosts unleashed rookie Junior Dala in front of the so-called hitman.

Out of the three matches played so far, Dala picked up Rohit on all three occasions of the game. The last two dismissals at Cape Town and Centurion have almost been identical. Clearly, Rohit’s technique has been found wanting, looking at his leg before wicket dismissals throughout the tour.

Therefore, Twitterati went full monty on the three-time double centurion in ODIs. Many questioned his place in the side, while the others questioned his batting abilities outside the Indian sub-continent.

Let us look at some of the hilarious reactions from Twitter post-Rohit Sharma’s recent failure

Rohit Sharma shagun ke 11 runs bana gaya apne team ke liye.. Good sign for the team.. Kaun sochta hai aajkal team ke liye itna?
A true captain's innings! #Legend
