South Africa rode on captain J.P. Duminy and wicket keeper Heinrich Klaasen’s blistering half-centuries to ease past India by six wickets in the second T20 International (T20I) at Centurion yesterday.
By virtue of this win, the hosts have kept themselves alive in the three-match T20I series.
Sent into bat first, India lost Rohit Sharma for a first-ball duck in the second over of the match by Junior Dala. The South African pacer had bowled a good length delivery in and around off that came back in sharply and rapped Rohit on the pads as he could not get his bat down in time. While Twitter trolled Rohit for getting out early in the match, the Indian opener registered an unwanted record to his name.
After being dismissed for a duck, Rohit has the most number of ducks by an Indian in T20I, 4. He is followed by former India pacer Ashish Nehra and Yusuf Pathan, who are both tied on 3.
