Rohit Sharma's struggles in the Test matches continued on Monday as well as he failed to score runs in the second innings of the first Test against England. After smashing a scintillating six through a pull shot off Jofra Archer, Rohit couldn't continue for much longer as he was clean bowled by left-arm spinner Jack Leach.

Rohit scored just 6 runs in the first innings before poking at a Jofra Archer delivery outside the off-stump straight into the hands of the wicket-keeper Jos Buttler. Rohit's failures have not been new as apart from a 52 in Australia, Rohit hasn't been troubling the scorers much.

His repeated failures at the top of the order have meant that the Indian team is losing wickets early and that doesn't help when they are chasing monumental totals. In the last eight innings, he has scored just 174 runs at an average of 21.

Twitter users weren't happy with Rohit's another failure in the Test and suggested that India might start looking at Mayank Agarwal or KL Rahul from the next Test as Shubman Gill's opening partner. Many users said that Rohit is wasting the opportunities he is getting to open for India in the Tests.

Some of the users used hilarious memes to convery their feelings after seeing another low score from the dashing opening batsman suggesting that he has still not been able to get out from his cocmfort zone of playing in the IPL, where he scores runs for fun, while he has been struggling in the whites.

Here are some of the reactions:
