India and Australia are currently playing their 4th test match at the Gabba in Brisbane. On Day 2, cricketer Rohit Sharma had a solid 44 runs behind him when got dismissed on a ball by Nathan Lyon.
India Today quoted Sunil Gavaskar saying, “Why? Why? Why? That’s an unbelievable shot. That’s an irresponsible shot. There is a fielder there at long oo, there is a fielder there at deep square leg. You have just hit a boundary a couple of deliveries earlier and why would you play that shot? You’re a senior player, there is no excuse, absolutely no excuse for that shot. An unnecessary wicket, an unnecessary wicket gifted away. Totally unnecessary.”
Here's the Rohit Sharma dismissal at Gabba. Frustration for India.

The 33-year-old said. “I reached where I wanted to reach, just that I did not connect with where I wanted to hit the ball. I was trying to pierce that long-on and deep square-leg fielder, I just did not connect with the way I would have loved to. I actually liked what I did today, before coming here, we knew it would be a good pitch to bat, of course, there would be bounce and carry to the keeper, but this is what I enjoy.”

That’s been the story of Rohit Sharma’s Australian tour so far: he has looked completely at home till he has got himself out. #INDvAUs

Needless. Needless. Rohit Sharma is Senior Rishabh Pant.

After some really beautiful drives & cuts, when Rohit Sharma seemed completely in control – out of nowhere, a big irresponsible slog. He was dominating in Brisbane, threw it away. 😐@ImRo45 #AUSvsIND

Rohit Sharma and Test cricket continue to be on a date that always seems destined for a perfect ending before he steps out of his crease unconvincingly to an off spinner at the worst time possible #AUSvIND
