Saudi's ball blew Rohit Sharma's senses, the hitman got cheated in the air, then the account was not opened again.

Rohit Sharma Duck: Exactly the same thing happened to Rohit Sharma in the first innings of Pune Test, which happened in Bengaluru. Indian captain was completely bowled over by another excellent ball from the hands of Tim Southee. Like the first innings of Hitman Bengaluru, he went without opening the account in Pune too. Rohit completely failed to read Southee's ball. By the end of the first day's play, Team India had scored 16 runs on the score board after losing the wicket of captain Rohit. Earlier, the entire New Zealand team was all out after scoring 259 runs. Washington Sundar wreaked havoc with his spinning balls and took 7 wickets.

Dear Rohit Sharma,

I respect you a lot and love you but as an honest Indian cricket fan I believe you should consider giving up your opening spot for the betterment of the team. You struggle to bat in test match and pick the length so it might be better to retire with dignity🙏. pic.twitter.com/9G8MxWKmuc

Rohit's account not opened again

After bowling out New Zealand for 259 runs, India's opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal took the field. Rohit did not look comfortable at the crease right from the beginning. Despite facing 8 balls, Rohit could not even open his account. Rohit was beaten in the air on the last ball of Tim Southee's over and the ball flew off his off stump. Seeing Rohit's expressions, it clearly seemed that he had completely failed to understand this Saudi ball. Rohit had to return to the pavilion without opening his account even though he did not want to. Hitman has been out on zero for the second time in the Test series.

Saudi became headache for Rohit

Tim Southee is becoming a big headache for Rohit Sharma in Test cricket. In the longest format of cricket, the Kiwi bowler has shown the way to the pavilion for the fourth time to the hitman. In 8 innings, Rohit has faced 126 balls against Saudi and scored 51 runs from his bat. However, the Hitman has lost his wicket four times against the Kiwi fast bowler. Rohit's batting average against Saudi is only 12.75. Saudi has dismissed Rohit 14 times in international cricket.
