IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma Screams in Disbelief After Shocking Dismissal in Bengaluru Test
New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel bowled Rohit Sharma.
On Day 3 of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, Indian captain Rohit Sharma faced a shocking moment that cut short a promising innings. After India’s disastrous first-innings collapse, where they managed only 46 runs, much relied on Rohit to stabilize the batting lineup. He reached a well-earned half-century, but his innings ended in an unfortunate way.
Just after the Tea break, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had formed a solid 72-run partnership with Rohit. At that point, the team showed signs of recovery, making Rohit’s dismissal a heavy blow. While attempting a routine defensive shot, the ball ricocheted between his bat and pad, clipping the stumps in a freak accident. Rohit, visibly shaken, covered his face in disbelief.

Rohit Sharma’s 59-ball half-century had offered a glimmer of hope for the Indian side. His dismissal came just after the flamboyant batter Virat Kohli joined him at the crease. Fans were looking forward to a solid partnership between these two senior players, but Rohit’s unlucky dismissal cut that partnership short.
With Sarfaraz Khan stepping in at number four, the pressure is now on him and Kohli to rebuild India’s innings and salvage a positive result from this match.
