India’s senior-duo, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, found themselves at the center of a social media storm after both crumbled under pressure on Day 2 of the ongoing Adelaide Pink-Ball Test. India’s hopes rested on the experienced shoulders of their captain and former captain to steady the ship. However, both Rohit and Kohli's failed to add to India's woes as the top-order collapsed on Day 2.
After a resilient effort with the ball, India were left needing a solid reply with the bat, but what followed was nothing short of a nightmare for the visitors. The experienced duo dismissed cheaply as Australia’s bowlers dominated the proceedings.
Rohit-Kohli's Short Stay Adds To India's Problems
Virat Kohli was expected to provide stability after Jaiswal failed. However, he lasted only 21 balls before he was again exposed to his weakness of fishing outside the off-stump.
Not long after, India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, walked out to the middle with the hope of anchoring the innings. However, his stay was brief as well. He faced only 15 balls before being bowled out for just 6 runs by a superb delivery from Australian captain Pat Cummins. The ball, bowled on a good length, angled in sharply, and Rohit misjudged the line, leaving his stumps exposed.
The duo's quick dismissals ignited a firestorm of criticism on social media, with fans taking to Twitter to vent their frustration. In this article, let's take a look at few Twitter reactions on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
At the end of Day 2, India are at deep trouble as they have already lost 5 wickets at mere 18 runs. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy are at the crease and the middle-order now need to step up on the start of Day 3.
