Indian middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma got roasted by Twitterati after another failure in the first innings of the second test match in Centurion Park on Sunday. Rohit missed out on a big innings getting trapped lbw off Rabada. He scored only 10 before getting out. In this series so far, Rohit has scored only 11, 10 and 10 in the three innings. Rohit was picked ahead of Ajinkya Rahane in this Test series, and clearly Kohli's bold selection hasn't gone down well with Indian cricket fans. Rohit came into the series with a rich vein of form including an ODI double century against Sri Lanka last month. On the other hand, test Vice Captain Rahane had a poor test series against the Lankans.

That forced Rohit's selection but so far he hasn't lived up to his potential. In a reasonably batting-friendly Centurion pitch, Rohit missed out and Twitter was brutal in calling him out and Captain Kohli's alleged bias towards Mr. Talent.

Here are some of the tweets:

I am flummoxed by Kohli logic. Rohit Sharma had performed in India , so must be persisted with, though we know his technical problems on away pitches. Bhuvneshwar performed with ball and bat in Cape Town, but cannot be included because of technical reasons. My head is swimming — Sanjay Dixit संजय (@Sanjay_Dixit) January 14, 2018
