Chasing 115, Rohit Sharma gave India an aggressive start against Australia in the second Test at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The Indian skipper, despite losing his partner KL Rahul early, scored 31 runs off just 20 balls, lacing his knock with three fours and two sixes. However, the manner in which he was dismissed attracted a lot of attention.
During the seventh over of the innings, Rohit nudged Matthew Kuhnemann’s tossed-up delivery in front of square on the on-side. Cheteshwar Pujara, playing his 100th Test, decided to push for two runs and even though the skipper initially reciprocated, he eventually stopped and turned back. However, Pujara had already crossed Sharma and gone well past the mid-way mark of the pitch by then, thereby leaving him unaware of the situation at hand.
Rohit showed great maturity to instantly acknowledge the mistake was his, and given the fact it was also a special Test match for Pujara, the 35-year-old decided to walk away in disappointment. The scene looked extremely ugly given two of India’s most senior batters were at the crease but Rohit’s decision of sacrificing his wicket even when he looked in supreme touch was lauded by many.
No need for that!

What is his mistake!
Rohit sacrificed his wicket because he thought it was his mistake.

That's where I miss Pant.. He knows whose wicket the opposition want more.. even if it would be his mistake, he would have shown his back to Pujara.

Should have stayed back
Rohit is known for run outs. He should have stayed back but went 4 steps losing his wicket. Pujara was only thinking without watching his partner. Unfortunate.

Bad call
There is NO WAY that Pujara's wicket was more important to the team's cause than Rohit, who could have ended the game in another 6-7 overs at the rate he was going.

Rohit sacrificing his wicket just because he made the bad call does not make any sense at all
Fool or selfish?
Pujara the FOOL should have given up his wicket but the SELFISH Fellow entered safe zone & cuased RUN OUT of Rohit
— Arun Tulshan (@ArunTulshan)
