Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma once again failed to score big as he was bowled out for 5 in the second innings on the second day of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday. Rohit lost his wicket for 6 in the first innings and although the spectators were expecting a better show in the second innings, he ended up losing his wicket quite cheaply. A short ball from Taskin Ahmed flew off Rohit’s outside edge and Zakir Hasan made no mistake and caught the ball at third slip. Social media was not happy with Rohit’s performance and some users even made fun of him.
Bangladesh were completely eliminated in the first innings by 149 runs, leaving India a massive 227 runs behind.
