Day 5 of the India vs Australia Boxing Day Test saw a disappointing start for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who was dismissed cheaply for just 9 runs off 40 balls. With a mammoth target of 333 to chase and the stakes sky-high, fans had high expectations from their captain. However, Rohit’s early dismissal by Australian captain Pat Cummins left fans frustrated, sparking a wave of reactions on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Cummins bowled a well-directed delivery that moved just enough to induce a thick outside edge from Rohit’s bat, sending the Indian captain back to the pavilion. While the opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal showed initial promise, Rohit’s inability to convert his start into a meaningful score became a point of contention. 

Fans Troll Rohit Sharma's Early Dismissal At MCG

The dismissal came at a crucial juncture, as India struggled to keep their chase alive. Jaiswal and KL Rahul couldn’t hold the innings together either, with Rahul departing for a duck. Fans were quick to point out the lack of application from the top order, urging the middle order, including Virat Kohli, to step up.

Fans expressed their disappointment, with many trolling the Indian skipper for failing to lead by example in a critical situation. Fans took to X and memes and jokes flooded the social media platform, with some highlighting his cautious approach that eventually led to his dismissal.

As the match progressed, the pressure on the Indian batting lineup continued to mount. For now, Rohit Sharma remains the centre of online humour and criticism, with fans digging in with a flood of reactions.

Let's take a look at few of the reactions Rohit Sharma's inning had at X (Twitter).







At the time of writing, India sits at a risky 30-2 at the end of 23 overs and fans will be relying on Virat Kohli to play a crucial knock at this point. The chase still has over 300 runs to cover and will need a miracle from here if India wants to bag the win.
