Team India’s condition deteriorated on the first day of the match

In this innings of Team India, the first wicket fell of captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma got out while playing his favorite shot, pull shot, and Team India got the first blow.
Rabada dismissed Rohit on the pull shot itself
It is not that Rohit Sharma was out by chance on a pull shot, because South Africa’s legendary fast bowler Kagiso Rabada dismissed Rohit Sharma as per the plan. Rabada knew that Rohit definitely pulls the short ball, so Rabada kept only one fielder on the boundary line, and the ball went straight into his hands. Rohit returned to the pavilion after scoring only 5 runs, after which many more wickets of Team India also fell very quickly.”text-align: justify;”>Fans angry with shot selection
In such a situation, fans including many cricket experts expressed their displeasure over Rohit’s shot and said that what is the need to take such risky shots in a test match. Sanjay Manjrekar, who was doing Hindi commentary during the match, had also said that Rabada had earlier also dismissed Rohit on his favorite shot, but Rohit will have to control his shot in the Test format. Many fans of Team India are saying similar things on social media also.
