Rohit Sharma on his debut as an opener for Test matches proved many people wrong with his batting skills in the first outing against South Africa.
However, in the second Test, India knew they needed to get past the opening spell of Kagiso Rabada and Vernon Philander, and though they lost Rohit Sharma's wicket for 14, Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara laid a strong foundation for Virat Kohli [254*] and Ravindra Jadeja [91] to eventually take over.
The epic match had many moments from India creating history to Kohli breaking many records. There were some players like Agarwal and Wriddhiman Saha who were even earned praised for their heroics.
However, a moment that stuck in everyone's mind is that of the Hitman falling down. Rohit Sharma’s catch and his eventual fall got netizens talking and it became an instant social media meme.
With the close-in fielders converging to get hold of Rohit, Twitter came up with some hilarious memes.
