Despite being dropped twice in his short stay at the crease, India captain Rohit Sharma failed to capitalise on the opportunity on Day 1 of the 3rd India vs New Zealand Test, in Mumbai, on Friday. He perished after misreading the bounce on a Matt Henry delivery, eventually edging it to the second slip, where his opposite number, Tom Latham, was stationed with a safe pair of hands. Sharma departed after scoring just 18 runs.

Fans Irked With Rohit Sharma After Yet Another Failure
Aside from the 52-run knock in the second innings of the Bengaluru Test, Rohit Sharma has had a series to forget with the bat against New Zealand. India skipper’s quiet run is seen as one of the striking reasons behind India’s Test series loss at home after twelve years. As the spree of flop shows continues, fans on social media have expressed livid reactions for Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma departing early has put the onus on youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill to steady the ship. So, far they have fared well but have to stitch a huge stand for the team to prosper and salvage the pride with a consolation win in the series. Earlier on Day 1, New Zealand bundled out at the score of 235. Ravindra Jadeja stood for India in the bowling department, picking up 14th 5-wicket haul in Tests.
