Rohit Sharma failed once again on Wednesday. In the ongoing third ODI between India and South Africa, the right-hander got out for a duck.
Rohit is in the middle of a horror tour at the moment. He had faced heat for taking his Mumbai state-mate Ajinkya Rahane’s place in the playing XI for the first two Tests, and went on to aggravate the situation by failing miserably in the whites.
With the commencement of the ODI series, fans were hopeful that the ‘Hitman’ would come good finally. After all, he’s the only batsman ever to score three double-hundreds in the 50-over format.
As it has turned out, though, Rohit simply can’t get going in South Africa. He has managed a grand total of 113 in seven innings on the tour so far. And it isn’t just the lack of runs, it’s the way he’s getting out.
In Capetown ODI too, Rohit got out in a deeply frustrating way. Unsure whether to leave the ball or play at it, the 30-year-old ended up nicking an inside edge to the keeper.
Twitterati wasn’t quite impressed with Rohit and brutally trolled him for his early departure.
Rohit Sharma's batting average of 12.10 in ODIs in South Africa – the worst for a top-order batsman (1-7) with a cut-off 10 innings in South Africa in ODIs.

It would be a good move to end Rohit Sharma's SA vacation and send him back home..no reasons left to keep him, he is only good for Indian Subcontinent.
Lets look for other opening combination.— Aditya (@nogutts_noglory)
Sometimes it's hard to understand why Rohit Sharma keeps getting picked; highly inconsistent, rarely performs overseas
