'Rohit is to this series what trial ball is to gully cricket': Twitter fumes after Sharma's failure in 4th ODI

Rohit Sharma fell for yet another cheap score on Saturday. The Indian opener got out for 5 in the fourth ODI against South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.

Rohit has been having a torrid tour so far. After failing miserably in the two Tests that he was a part of, the Mumbaikar has not fired in his much-favoured 50-over format too.

On Saturday, Rohit was out caught and bowled to fast-bowler Kagiso Rabada. It was a nothing shot again, exposing how utterly clueless the 30-year-old is at the moment.

Twitter went ahead with its ceremonial trolling of Rohit soon after he was dismissed. It's become a routine of late for the right-hander to perish cheaply and be the butt of jokes on social media.

Here are some tweets

Rohit Sharma scored 3 double centuries at home.

He scored 20, 15, 0 and 5 total 45 runs in this series.

He still needs 155 runs in next 2 matches to complete 200 runs. #INDvSA

India won the toss and elected to bat first against South Africa in the fourth ODI of the six-match series at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Saturday.

India's right-handed batsman Shreyas Iyer will come in for all-rounder Kedar Jadhav, who did his hamstring in the last game in Cape Town. For South Africa, AB de Villiers is back into the team for Khaya Zondo while pacer Morne Morkel will replace Imran Tahir.

The Virat Kohli-led side is leading the series 3-0 and will aim to write a history here by winning the game and eventually the six-match series, as India have never won a series in South Africa. On the other hand, the hosts will aim to keep the series alive to finish it on a draw. The luck also favours the Proteas here as the history of the last five years says South Africa don't lose on the Pink Day.

"We weren't sure what to do, we were leaning towards bowling first. Lots of could've, would've and should've in this game. The pink has brought us some luck," stand-in-skipper Skipper Aiden Markram said after the toss.
