Team India skipper Rohit Sharma was at it again as he was heard having a hilarious conversation at the stump mic on day two of the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The right-handed batter was heard devising a plan for an Aussie batter as India seemed desperate to take a wicket.
It was unclear as to which batter Rohit and Jadeja were planning for; however, it was a frustrating morning on day two for the visitors. With Australia resuming on 311/6 and the new ball only five overs old, the Indian bowlers failed to utilise it well, with the hosts hammering 143 runs in a little less than 30 overs by losing only one wicket.
Speaking in a video uploaded on Star Sports, here's what Rohit was heard telling Jadeja:
"Nahin jaayega yaar. Udhar Out ho jaayega, itna lamba hai udhar yaar. Humein out karne mein dekhna hai usko yaar. Out kaun karega? Main? Mereko daalna padega."
(He won't go. We have to look to get him out. Who will get him out otherwise? Me? I have to bowl eventually)
Rohit Sharma departs cheaply despite returning to the opening position
Meanwhile, the veteran returned to the opening spot after batting at number six in his last three innings in Adelaide and Brisbane. However, all he managed was a nothing shot on the on-side as the ball lobbed to Scott Boland, who took a straightforward catch to see Rohit's back for 3.
Riding on Steve Smith's 140 and half-centuries from Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne, Australia have amassed 474 from almost 123 overs.
