While the first match of the tour was played on Wednesday (November 21) at The Gabba (Brisbane) – the first T20I of three-match T20I series – Rohit Sharma and Manish Pandey were involved in this photo-shoot before that game.

The Indian Cricket Team official Facebook account recently posted that 2:05 minutes video and wrote on it, “MUST WATCH – When Hitman became Cameraman…We get behind the scenes as Rohit Sharma goes behind the lens to profile Manish Pandey during a photoshoot http://www.bcci.tv/vide…/…/7104/when-hitman-became-cameraman #TeamIndia #INDvAus”

In that video, Rohit Sharma guided the viewers, “Pretend as if you’re getting ready. It’ll be just 10 seconds. You’ve to do something. I am going to do some direction. Let’s see how it goes. A bit of a camera work rather, not direction actually.”

Pandey made some different poses with his bat while Rohit took some videos on it through the smartphone. Both of them enjoyed it very well.

While Rohit Sharma is the regular limited-overs player with the important role of the vice-captain, he has recently returned to the Test series in this tour. Meanwhile, Pandey isn’t a regular playing XI member in the Indian squad.

In the first T20I of the series, Manish Pandey didn’t get an opportunity to be part in the playing XI while the vice-captain Rohit Sharma played his role as an opening batsman. In that rain-interrupted match, Australia managed to score 158/4 at the end of 17 overs. Chasing the adjusted target of 174 runs (DLS method), India reached very close but failed to achieve the victory as they scored 169/7 (17 overs).
