India and England are currently locking horns in the much-anticipated final Test of the five-match series at the scenic Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Amidst the intense action on the field, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has once again displayed his humorous side, much to the delight of fans and spectators alike.
In a quirky yet attention-grabbing moment, Rohit Sharma was spotted organizing fielding positions in his own unique style during the ongoing Test. Utilizing his shoes as makeshift markers, he directed Sarfaraz Khan to stand at leg gully and instructed Yashavi Jaiswal to take up the slip position, showcasing his innovative approach to setting the field.
This isn’t the first time Rohit Sharma has injected humour into the game. In a recent incident during the Ranchi Test, Rohit playfully reprimanded Sarfaraz Khan for neglecting to wear a helmet while fielding at silly point. Despite Sarfaraz’s attempts to convince Rohit otherwise, the skipper emphasized the importance of safety, ensuring his teammate understood the potential risks involved.
