As Dismal Test Form Continues vs New Zealand Internet Roasts T
Rohit Sharma’s rough patch continued as he was dismissed for just 2 runs on Day 2 of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. Facing challenging conditions on a pitch that favored fast bowlers, Rohit struggled to find his rhythm. His brief stay ended when Tim Southee bowled a swinging delivery that beat Rohit completely and crashed into the stumps. This dismissal adds to a series of underwhelming performances, as Rohit failed to score above 30 in both recent Tests against Bangladesh. His struggles at the crease sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
The match saw Sarfaraz Khan and Kuldeep Yadav joining India’s playing eleven, as captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first. Due to rain washing out the entire first day, the opening Test has been shortened to a four-day encounter. Despite the setback, India will look to build a competitive score with the remaining batters as they adjust to New Zealand’s pace attack. Rohit’s early departure adds pressure to the team, which now aims to make the most of the remaining sessions in what promises to be a challenging series opener against a strong New Zealand side.
