Rohit is appearing in his 36th game at the global event with India up against South Africa in a crucial Super 12 Group 2 match.

Rohit falls for 15 in his 36th match
Rohit won the toss and elected to bat first against SA at the Perth Stadium. However, he came in and perished for a paltry 14-ball 15. He hit one four and a six before being dismissed by Lungi Ngidi, who banged the ball in short and the extra bounce was too much for Rohit. His attempted pull shot saw the ball balloon up.
