Rohit Sharma, who is leading the Board President’s XI against South Africa, had a horrendous start as an opening batsman in red-ball cricket on Saturday.
On the third and final day of the ongoing practice match at Dr PVG Raju ACA Sports Complex in Vizianagaram, Rohit came out to open the innings with Maya🐲nk Agarwal but his stay at the crease lasted for just two bal𒅌ls.
In t🌳he second over of th🌄e innings, Rohit was caught by Heinrich Klaasen on the bowling of Vernon Philander.
Eaꩵrlier, South Africa declared their first innings at 279/6 as soon as Philander fell 2 short of a well-deserved half-century. Temba Bavuma remained unbeaten on 87 off 127 balls and must be high on confidence ahead of the 3-Test serie﷽s next month.
After Rohit’s dismal show with the bat in the practice game, netizens started trolling the 32-year-old.

Don't know which is more funny – Rohit opening in tests and getting out on duck or Rohit opening in tests

OMG Rohit Sharma. 😂😂😂
The selectors are going to be really wor꧅ried about this.
Second ball duck in this new opening experiment.
RG Sharma c Klaassen b Philander 0 (2)
And Abhimanyu Easwaran, who should be in the test squad, comes out 𝓀to ba🌠t. Might as well opened.
