28.12.2023 - 14:04 sports.ndtv.com

Indian captain Rohit Sharma's vulnerability against Kagiso Rabada continued with his dismissal in the first innings of the opening Test match in Centurion on Tuesday.

He was again dismissed by the same bowler on Thursday in India's second innings, that too for a duck. Rohit Sharma has been a prime target for Kagiso Rabada across all formats and has been troubled consistently.

The South African paceman has now dismissed Sharma a total of 14 times across formats, which is the highest by any bowler. New Zealand's Tim Southee (12), Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews (10), Australia's Nathan Lyon (9) and New Zealand's Trent Boult (8) are the other bowlers who have dismissed Rohit Sharma the most number of times in international cricket.

Among 14 dismissals against Rabada, seven have come in Test cricket, making Rabada the fast bowler who has troubled Rohit Sharma the most in the longest format.

With just one wicket to go and three reviews remaining, the Indian cricket team decided to make use of their resources, although knowing that the result was unlikely to come in their favour. Mohammed Siraj hit South Africa's Nandre Burger high on the right right, on Day 2 of the second Test at Cape Town, but the umpire had little interest in rewarding Team India's appeal. However, realising that India have three DRS calls to spare, Rohit contemplated going for a review, after a brief discussion with teammates, but eventually decided against taking it.
