Rohit Sharma failed to play a big innings for the sixth time in the 5-match Test series against England. In the first innings of the fourth Test in Ranchi, he could score only 2 runs on 9 balls. Rohit dismissed England's fast bowler James Anderson. Rohit could not understand his ball. After Rohit's dismissal, the English fan sang the song 'Bye Bye Rohit'.
