India vs New Zealand Memes Fest: Rohit Sharma's struggles with the bat in the Champions Trophy 2025 have sparked a meme fest on social media, with fans taking to Twitter to express their frustration.

The Indian captain, who came into the tournament against England on the back of a century, failed to make an impact in the group stages. His latest dismissal against New Zealand, where he managed just 15 runs before falling to a mistimed pull shot, added fuel to the fire.

Disappointed fans flooded social media with criticism, calling for a change in his approach or even retirement while some mocked him with hilarious memes. One user wrote, "yeah, cant make more than 15 runs, cannot concentrate to score big, cant run, cant field." Another fan labeled Rohit a "walking wicket," arguing that he is now only capable of pinch-hitting in the powerplay.

New Zealand, electing to field first, made full use of the conditions, with their pacers extracting movement and troubling the Indian batters. Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson set the tone early, with Henry dismissing Shubman Gill before Rohit's downfall followed soon after. The Indian innings faltered further when Virat Kohli departed, leaving them at 57/3 after 16 overs, with Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel at the crease, trying to rebuild the innings.

The backlash against Rohit Sharma has been swift. One fan lamented, "Why tf Rohit Sharma plays selflessly!!??? He doesn't care about his wicket; he should have played. There was no necessity for that shot." Others reminisced about his prime years, urging him to rediscover his old form: "WE WANT 2019 ROHIT SHARMA."

While the Indian skipper has been a stalwart for years, his recent struggles have sparked debates about his form and future. With the knockout stages approaching, the pressure is mounting on him to deliver. Whether he silences his critics with a big knock or continues to face online trolling remains to be seen.
