Indians can’t play outside India. Rohit Sharma very rarely plays well on foreign pitches in Test matches

Terrible shot by Rohit Sharma. Absolutely threw his wicket away. At this position you expect more responsibility, and that was as predictable and easy a delivery as they come. Shame. Happy?

People are having sympathies for Rohit Sharma because he’s getting out in SA like before this he was averaging 50 in here.
