India burned all three of their reviews inside the first two sessions of Day 1 of the fourth Test against England in Ranchi after Rohit Sharma misread two close chances. India took six overall reviews by tea on Friday and while they successfully reviewed one against Ollie Pope, sustained against Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett, they lost two on Joe Root and another on Ben Foakes. The former England captain was rapped on the pads first ball, and although the umpire was clear in his decision, Rohit was convinced into making a wrong call and paid the price for it.
