Team India skipper Rohit Sharma was spotted staring angrily at Kuldeep Yadav when BCCI President Roger Binny was distributing the white jacket to him at the stage. With the left-arm wrist-spinner struggling to wear the jacket and Rohit unimpressed by having to wait longer for his turn, his reaction went viral on social media.
Kuldeep, who played a central role in India's Champions Trophy 2025 victory, copped criticism on the field from Virat Kohli during both the semi-final and final. The Kanpur-born cricketer had failed to stand at the right position to affect the run-out twice in both the matches, prompting the senior players to go off on him. However, he grabbed two vital wickets in the final against New Zealand to halt their momentum and finished with figures of 10-0-40-2.
Meanwhile, below is the video of Rohit staring angrily at Kuldeep over struggling to wear the jacket:

Kuldeep, nevertheless, had nothing but respect for the way Rohit managed four spinners in their attack. He told Sky Sports after India's four-wicket win on Sunday:
"It’s very difficult to manage four spinners and the way he managed, it was amazing to see. When four spinners are playing together, it is very hard to rotate any of them. Obviously the planning was going on, we played our last game in Dubai on March 4 and we got plenty, like four or five days of break and then we had a chat how we go about this game."
