India’s fourth Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) saw Rohit Sharma struggling to make an impact. The Indian captain endured a rare “double failure,” scoring only 12 runs across both innings. Fans on social media were unforgiving, with some even sarcastically calling for his retirement, using hashtags like #HappyRetirementRohit.
Highlights of the Incident:
- First-Innings Dismissal: Sharma was bowled for a paltry 6 runs, struggling against Australia’s pace attack.
- Second-Innings Collapse: He fell for another low score, contributing to India’s overall batting woes.
- Fan Reactions: Social media turned into a battlefield with mixed reactions, ranging from criticism of his leadership to support from loyal fans.
Impact on Sharma’s Record:
- Rohit’s failure in Melbourne marked a rare slump in what has been an otherwise stellar run as captain.
- Critics pointed out his inconsistencies in overseas Tests, especially in challenging conditions.
The series, now poised for a gripping finale, puts further pressure on Sharma to deliver both as a batsman and as a captain.
