A unique innings of Rohit Sharma came to an end. The experienced batsman, who has an average strike rate of over 133 in the Indian Premier League (IPL), batted with a strike rate of 96.15 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) tonight before being bowled by experienced PBKS spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
Rohit Sharma was out for 25, which is good, but against 26 balls, which makes the innings unconventional. Rohit’s slow innings came when the target score was 201 runs in 20 overs.

Fans on social media platforms are surprised to see ‘Hitman’ batting at such a slow pace. He crossed the boundary only twice during his 26-ball innings. The spinner took the wicket of the star batsman on the third ball of the 10th over of the second innings.

Brother, please teach Rohit Sharma how he should not play and how he should not play.
If he doesn’t get out I believe 50 runs will be scored in the next 20+ balls
