‌Ranji Trophy | Twitter reacts to Rohit Sharma’s extended lean patch after replicating Boxing Day dismissal for Mumbai

Abiding by the BCCI’s decision, plenty of nationally contracted Indian cricketers donned the field as the Ranji Trophy season resumed on Thursday morning. However, plenty of them failed to click with the bat with the Indian Test captain, Rohit Sharma falling for three runs, replicating his dismissal in the MCG Test against Australia. 

After a watchful start with Yashasvi Jaiswal on the other side of the 22 yards, Rohit Sharma tried to chip a back of a length delivery from  Umar Nazir Mir, who came over the wicket. In the process, the ball caught up with the outside edge of Rohit’s willow and skewed over towards the cover fielder for a simple grab. Seeing the Indian skipper’s extended batting drought to kick off his Ranji Trophy season, the Twitterverse exploded with criticism.

Deva Vu!
