New Delhi: The misery of the Indian team in the first test match of the two test match series continues to grow, as after failing with both bat and ball in the first innings, the men in blue have started to crumble down in the second innings with the bat as well.
India by the end of the second session on day three, is playing at 62 for 3, with still 101 runs behind the first innings total of the Proteas.
Indian cricket team, who were hoping to win their first ever red ball series in the Rainbow Nation after having a successful outing in the white ball cricket, have failed to perform for the cause so far, as the Proteas have outclassed them on all the fronts so far.
After failing miserably, with both bat and ball in the first innings, fans were hoping for a redemption story from the batsmen in the second innings, but the story remained the same as the first innings as India once again lost their top three cheaply.
The fans got even more disappointed as the skipper Rohit Sharma after departing at just five in the first innings, failed even to open his account, as Kagiso Rabada removed him on zero.

This is one of Rohitโs worst outings in a match as he only managed to add five runs in his name even after adding the totals to both innings together.
Netizens on X (Formerly known as Twitter), reacted to Rohitโs failure in their own way, as it eventually led to sparking a meme fest.
