While the ongoing Test series at home against England continues to be a lean one with the bat for Indian captain Rohit Sharma, his on-field antics continues to entertain the fans. After an expletive-laden outrage over Indian players' sloppy fielding on day 2, the 37-year-old said in Hindi over his voice going down due to yelling so much. The video of the same has gone viral on social media.
The incident occurred during an over bowled by Axar Patel when England were 157-4, with Rohit walking towards the slip position. As the right-handed batter was walking towards his fielding position, he was heard on stump mic saying, "Mera Gale Ka Vaat Lag Gaya Chilla Chilla Ke Tum Logon Ko".
On day 3 of the Test, a clip emerged of Rohit thanking TV replays after his decision to not take a review against Zak Crawley despite Kuldeep Yadav strongly convincing him to.
"It's important from our side to give them confidence" - Rohit Sharma on youngsters in Team India
After the 106-run win over England on day 4 in Vizag, Rohit expressed concerns about several batters getting in without making a big score in both innings. However, he expects the youngsters to learn and take confidence from this series into the winning matches. The veteran said at the post-match presentation:
"The wicket was really good to bat on. That's where, if I have to point anything, a lot of the batters got the start, but didn't convert into a big score, and [that's] something that we really need to look into. But, again, having said that, I do understand they're very young, [and] they're very new to this form of the game. So obviously, it will take some time for us. It's important from our side to give them confidence, and this win, obviously, will give them a lot of confidence, and [tell them] just to go out there and play freely."
The 3rd Test begins on February 15th in Rajkot.
