Watch: Rohit Sharma gets out on a duck first time in ICC WTC history courtesy a Jaffa from Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada dismissed Rohit Sharma in both innings of the first test in Centurion.

There were huge expectations associated with Indian captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the test series against South Africa. Rohit failed miserably in the ongoing first test match being played at the Supersport Park in Centurion and could only manage to score 5 runs in two innings. Indian skipper Rohit was dismissed on a 8-ball duck by South African pace bowler Kagiso Rabada in the second innings.

South African right-arm pacer Kagiso Rabada rattled Rohit Sharma’s off-stump in the second innings with a beauty of a delivery in the third over. This is the first time Rohit has been dismissed for a duck in ICC World Test Championship history. Rohit got out to Rabada in the first innings as well courtesy of a decent running catch from debutant Nandre Burger at fine leg.

Kagiso Rabada set Rohit Sharma beautifully in his early spell of the second innings. Rabada’s relentless push in the off-stump made Indian captain Rohit uncomfortable and lose his off-stump comprehensively. Rabada changed his line slightly and bowled on the middle stump that nipped away took Sharma’s off stump.
