South Africa vs India 2018, 4th ODI: Hits and Misses

#4 Miss: The Mumbai duo

Sharma averages 10 with the bat in this series

Rohit Sharma has scored 40 runs in the four games that he has played in the series so far. Things just keep falling apart with ever next match for the opening batsmen, who is just unable to overturn his luck in the Rainbow Nation so far.

Sharma was dismissed for a cheap score five off 13 deliveries by a brilliant caught-and-bowled display by Kagiso Rabada. The right-handed batsman has played eight innings on the tour so far and hasn't been able to cross the fifty-run barrier even once.

Another opportunity goes begging for Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane started this tour on the bench before playing in the final match of the Test series, where he performed exceptionally well in the second innings. The ODI series started off well for him as well, as he notched up his fifth consecutive fifty-plus score in the format.

However, it has been a downward spiral for the Mumbaikar since then. He did not bat in the second ODI and was dismissed for 11 in the next game. At the Wanderers stadium, Rahane came in at a difficult position and was expected to carry forward from the impetus provided by a brilliant stand between Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan.

He started off well, but could not preserve his wicket while adapting the aggressive approach, and fell for a score of 8 in 15 deliveries.
