Team India’s skipper Rohit Sharma played a heroic knock of 120 runs in the first test against Australia at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground in Nagpur and put the Indian team in driver’s seat.

Rohit Sharma was quite watchful throughout his innings and denied Jadeja for a cheeky double as Steve Smith fielded the ball and eventually passed a hilarious comment about the star Australian batter.

Rohit Sharma’s hilarious comment about Steve Smith goes viral

Rohit Sharma made a crucial partnership for the 6th wicket with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja after Indian team lost the wickets of Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Suryakumar Yadav in quick succession. The partnership between the two batters made sure that the Indian team had an upper hand during the second day of the first test.

It was not a typical Rohit Sharma innings as he was quite watchful throughout his innings and played 212 deliveries for his knock of 120. Rohit was pretty aware of the fact that he cannot allow the Australians to make a comeback into the game.

During the 77th over of the Indian innings, Ravindra Jadeja took a single off Marnus Labuschagne’s second delivery and started looking for a second run which was denied by skipper Rohit Sharma as the ball was fielded by Steve Smith in the fine leg region.

While refusing for the second run, Rohit Sharma was heard saying to Jadeja,“Yeh pagal hai thoda, sach me” (He’s a little mad, for real).
