Team India captain Rohit Sharma never fails to entertain his fans whenever he's on the field. The Hitman was once again in a jovial mood when his bowler Washington Sundar couldn't get his run-up right during the ongoing 2nd ODI between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo.
A funny moment took place in the 15th over when Sundar stopped twice before bowling his first delivery as he faltered with his run-up.
Noticing the delay in proceedings, Rohit hilariously charged at Washington from first slip and gestured to hit his teammate, leaving everyone in splits. The video of the incident was posted on social media by the host broadcaster.
"Just @ImRo45 being his hilarious self on the field," the post from Sony Sports Network read.
India restrict Sri Lanka to 240/9
For the second straight game, Dunith Wellalage and Kamindu Mendis provided Sri Lanka with a crucial lower-order recovery, helping the hosts post a respectable 240/9 in the second ODI against India at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.
Choosing to bat first on a dry pitch, Sri Lanka stumbled to 136/6 in 34.5 overs despite a 74-run partnership between Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis. Wellalage (39) and Kamindu (40) then delivered a stellar 72-run stand from 68 balls for the seventh wicket, pulling Sri Lanka out of trouble.
Their partnership boosted Sri Lanka's total, with 79 runs added in the last ten overs. Kamindu’s inclusion in place of fast bowler Mohamed Shiraz turned out to be a wise decision. On the Indian side, Washington Sundar shone with figures of 3-30, while Kuldeep Yadav (2-33) and Axar Patel (1-38) chipped in with three wickets.
