Former India cricket team captain Rohit Sharma had to return to the pavilion with a golden duck in Mumbai’s second round match in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, against Uttarakhand on Friday. The Hitman, who announced his return to the domestic 50-over tournament after over a decade earlier this week, lasted for just one delivery before he was sent packing. Uttarakhand won the toss and opted to field first in the game at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday.
Opening the innings for Mumbai, Rohit was caught out by Jagmohan Nagarkoti off Bora in the final delivery of the very first over. The Hitman was dismissed while attempting his favorite pull shot off the bowler. Fans, who had queued up at the stadium since 6 AM on Friday, were left disappointed by his early dismissal.
In the first round match against Sikkim, Rohit Sharma showed his dominance, scoring 155 off only 94 deliveries, delighting the crowd at SMS in Jaipur. As a result, the target of 237 runs was chased down in just 30.3 overs. The former Indian captain hammered bowlers with utter disdain, slamming 18 fours and 9 huge sixes.
