'Clueless captaincy' - Rohit Sharma slammed by Indian fans after crushing defeat to South Africa at Centurion image

India captain Rohit Sharma has come under fire from fans after his side capitulated to an innings defeat in the first Test against South Africa on Thursday.

India were bowled out for 245 and 131 in the two innings at Centurion while South Africa made 408 in their first innings which was enough to secure an innings 32-run win.

Rohit, who also failed with the bat in the match, has been at the receiving end of plenty of stick from forlorn Indian fans who have seen hopes of an unprecedented Test series win in SA go up in smokes.

Rohit's captaincy has also been questioned by the fans, especially with many feeling his defensive fields did not help the Indian bowlers who struggled to make an impact their counterparts did.

Interestingly, this was only the second Test match Rohit Sharma has captained in a SENA country. This was also his second loss in such matches. 

His captaincy came in for heavy criticism by fans.
