While some users shared hilarious memes on Sharma’s dismal innings in the match, others expressed how frustrated they were with Sharma’s constantly abysmal performance. A Twitter user even compared Sharma and Kohli and wrote, “Rohit Sharma has to remember why Virat had eclipsed him to be the captain in the first place! Lack of consistency has always been his bane despite the huge talent and it’s come back to haunt him!”
