“By far the worst year for him” - Twitterati react as Rohit Sharma gets injured while attempting a catch in 2nd ODI vs Bangladesh

Team India suffered a major blow as their skipper Rohit Sharma suffered an injury in the second over of the second ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Wednesday, December 7.Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first in the game being played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. On the fourth delivery of the second over, Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj induced an edge off Bangladesh opener Anamul Haque’s bat.The outside edge flew low and straight to Rohit, who was positioned at second slip. However, the Indian captain couldn't properly judge the catch and spilled the chance. To make matters worse for the visitors, he hurt himself and had to go off the field. A Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) update later revealed that Rohit had been sent for a scan. The official statement read:“India Captain Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb while fielding in the 2nd ODI. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him. He has now gone for scans.”There were mixed reactions to Rohit’s injury on Twitter. While some sympathized with him for going through tough times in his career, others criticized him for dropping a simple catch and being unable to stay fit for a consistent period of time. Here are some reactions from the micro-blogging site:deathSTROKE@UpAndOverAndSix@BCCI now kl rahul will captain the inning with one less opener, guess what management(dravid) might send him to open after 50 over of wicket keeping, this match is lost by default now,361@BCCI now kl rahul will captain the inning with one less opener, guess what management(dravid) might send him to open after 50 over of wicket keeping, this match is lost by default now,Aadvik@thecoolguy03@BCCI By far the worst year for himInjuries, poor form, back to back tournament defeats, etc. Get well soon and get back on the field Rohit 🏻814@BCCI By far the worst year for himInjuries, poor form, back to back tournament defeats, etc. Get well soon and get back on the field Rohit 🙏🏻Adi@WintxrfellViz@BCCI DROPPED A SIMPLE CATCH. so now natak of injury 🤡🤡🤡13316@BCCI DROPPED A SIMPLE CATCH. so now natak of injury 🤡🤡🤡https://t.co/tzU1EUHmI1Archer@poserarcher@BCCI Why do you make such Injury prone guy as your captain..
