New Delhi: Team India captain Rohit Sharma was spotted doing a Virat Kohli on the field before his side’s victory in the recently concluded 1st Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Rohit was seen cheekily flipping the bails during Bangladesh’s second innings with the hosts just 4 wickets away from victory.
The incident happened during Day 4 of the Chennai Test when Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shato was batting on 76 and producing resistance against the Indian bowlers during the visitors’ mammoth 515-run chase. After the drinks break, Rohit decided to flip the bails when he walked on to the field to take his fielding position.
The Indian skipper also hilariously made a gesture of casting a spell on the stumps as he walked back. The video of the incident caught the eyes of the fans on social media. Notably, Rohit’s teammate and former India skipper Virat Kohli is famous for his bail-changing tricks during Test matches for India. Kohli used to do it as captain when the team was looking for crucial breakthroughs.
