Mumbai suffered a major shock in the Vijay Hazare Trophy when captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed on the very first ball against Uttarakhand, leaving fans stunned and disappointed. After a sensational 155-run innings off just 94 balls in the previous match against Sikkim, Rohit was unable to open his account this time, falling victim to a golden duck.
Devendra Singh Bora’s Magical Spell
All eyes were on Rohit at the start of the match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Fast bowler Devendra Singh Bora made an instant impact, sending Rohit back to the pavilion on the last ball of his opening over. Rohit attempted a shot, but the ball took the edge and flew towards deep fine leg, where fielder Jagmohan Nagarkoti made a spectacular catch after a brief moment of uncertainty. The stadium fell silent as Rohit departed without scoring.
From 155 to Zero
Rohit’s dismissal marked a stark contrast to his previous match, where he dominated bowlers with a spectacular century. This early wicket left Mumbai at 4 runs for 1, putting immediate pressure on the batting lineup. Fans who were thrilled by Rohit’s previous heroics were left disappointed as their star player exited without troubling the scorers.
Silence and Disappointment in the Stadium
Thousands of cricket fans had gathered in Jaipur specifically to watch the “Hitman” in action. Rohit’s first-ball dismissal visibly disheartened the spectators, many of whom began leaving the stadium before the match concluded. The roaring excitement and cheers that marked the start of the game quickly vanished, leaving a quiet and somber atmosphere in the stands.
