New Delhi. Captain Rohit Sharma, who returned with the dream of winning the Test series on South African soil, has flopped miserably so far. In both innings of the Centurion Test, his bat did not yield runs and left the team in trouble. The same bowler gave the return ticket to Rohit Sharma in the first innings and second innings of the Boxing Day Test. In this match, the Proteas bowler created a special record by bowling cleanly on zero.
The Indian team has been forced to play against South Africa to avoid defeat in the Centurion Test. Team India could score only 245 runs in the first innings. After this, the South African team scored 408 runs and took a huge first innings lead of 163 runs. In the second innings, the Indian team’s opening pair cheated again and returned after adding 13 runs. Rohit Sharma zero while Yashwi Jaiswal was dismissed for 5 runs.
Rohit Sharma stopped speaking in all three formats
Indian captain Rohit Sharma returned by opening the account in the first innings of the Test match against South Africa, while he could not score a single run in the second innings. Experienced fast bowler Kagiso Rabada dismissed Rohit Sharma in both the innings. In the second innings, he was clean bowled for a score of zero. By taking this wicket, he achieved a feat that no bowler could do before.
Kagiso Rabada has now become the only bowler in international cricket to have forced Indian captain Rohit Sharma back without opening an account in all three formats. In October 2022, Rabada bowled Rohit Sharma for a wicket in the Indore T20, while in 2018, he caught the hitman behind the wicket in the Cape Town ODI.
