IND vs AFG | Twitter chants 'you can't see me' for Farooqi's Cena imitation after cunningly deceiving Rohit
The world of entertainment wrestling has a worldwide following, its influence extending even to cricket. This was vividly demonstrated in the clash between India and Afghanistan at Bridgetown when Fazalhaq Farooqi's magical ball to dismiss Rohit Sharma culminated in an exuberant John Cena tribute.
On the fifth ball of the third over, Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled a cunning slower delivery with the new ball. The white rock pitched on the fuller side of the stumps. Rohit, aiming to drive it down the ground, placed his front leg firmly but mistimed the shot as the ball grazed the toe end of his bat. Meanwhile, Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan moved forward from his mid-off position to take an easy catch. A dejected Rohit walked back to the pavilion after a cheap dismissal, while Farooqi celebrated with a flamboyant John Cena ‘You can’t see me’ gesture, sending the Twitterverse into a frenzy.
John Cena celebration!

OH!
If you're playing T20 cricket with Rohit Sharma in your playing 11 then you're already 1 wicket down.

Kohli looked calm for a while!
#Rohit's dismissal has made #Kohli's wicket crucial for #India, given the slow pitch and outfield.

A lot!
How many balls did he play before hitting that unnecessary shot? One would think he would have judged the wicket. Also he is the captain of the team, it’s his job to take the pressure of the team! Also we can criticise Rohit without bringing up Kohli’s name. Just saying!

Ohh god no!
Rohit sacrificed his wicket only so that Kohli can finally find his rhythm
