If Rohit Sharma is on strike and a left-arm pacer is standing in front of him, what happens to the captain of Team India is well known among the fans. In the Super 8 match of T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma once again lost his wicket to a left-arm pacer. The Indian captain was able to score only 8 runs in 13 balls and he gave his wicket to Fazalak Farooqui. Rohit lost his wicket while trying to play a big shot on Fazalak Farooqui's ball.
Fazalak Farooqi trapped Rohit Sharma from the very first over. He bowled the first four dot balls against Rohit. After this, he again came in front of Rohit in his second over and trapped him with his slower ball. Rohit got caught by Rashid Khan in the urge to play a big shot.
Rohit Sharma may be one of the most explosive batsmen in the world, but this player seems to be troubled against left-arm pacers. In this T20 World Cup itself, he has been out against left-arm fast bowlers in three consecutive matches. Rohit gave his wicket to Shaheen Afridi against Pakistan. He lost his wicket to Netravalkar against America and now he has given his wicket to Fazalhaq Farooqui against Afghanistan.
Rohit Sharma always has problems against left-arm fast bowlers. Rohit has been out 24 times against left-arm fast bowlers in T20. However, Rohit Sharma does not believe that he has any problem against left-arm pacers. By the way, the Barbados pitch was a bit difficult for batting. The ball was coming on the bat very tightly, which made it difficult to play shots, but the important thing here is that Rohit should have kept his shot selection right, which he could not do.
