‘Batting position nayi score wahi’: Netizens spark meme fest after Rohit Sharma registers most ducks in IPL history

By Charlie

In a surprising turn of events, the Mumbai Indians’ skipper, Rohit Sharma, did not open the innings in their match against arch-rivals, the Chennai Super Kings. Instead, Cameron Green opened the innings alongside Ishan Kishan to get some quick runs on a slow Chennai wicket.

However, the CSK bowlers were prepared for Green, and he was removed in the second over. The team captain then walked out to bat at number three, but the strategy backfired for the five-time champions. After losing Kishan in the third over, Rohit tried to play an attacking stroke but lost his wicket to Deepak Chahar in the same over.

On the fifth delivery of the over, MS Dhoni came up to the stumps, indicating that the delivery might be slow. Rohit attempted to take advantage of this by playing a lap shot against him, but he was unable to time it well. The ball struck the edge of his bat before descending into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja, who was stationed at the backward point.

The 36-year-old departed without adding anything to the scoreboard in the three balls that he played. Notably, this was Rohit Sharma’s 16th duck in the IPL, the highest by any batsman in the league’s history. As the most successful captain in the IPL, he would not want to be associated with such a record.

In the meantime, fans have been trolling the Indian skipper for his continued failures in the ongoing tournament. So far, Rohit has only managed to score 184 runs in 10 innings at an underwhelming average of 18.4.
