Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma is well known for his on-field antics and his hilarious banter with Kuldeep Yadav has gone viral on Day 3 of the second Test match against England in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday. During the second over of England’s second innings, Zak Crawley was beaten by a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah leading to a loud appeal from wicket-keeper KS Bharat. Few of the Indian fielders were convinced that an edge was involved and Kuldeep rushed to Rohit in an attempt to convince him to take a review. However, Rohit did not look interested and in response, he gave an expression that has left social media in splits.
The replay showed that there was no bat involved and Rohit sparked a huge cheer from the crowd as he smiled and showed two thumbs to the camera.
Shubman Gill struck form with a century as India left England a record victory target of 399 on day three of the second Test on Sunday.
England, who lead the five-match series 1-0, reached 67-1 at stumps after opener Ben Duckett fell for 28 in Visakhapatnam.

Left-hander Duckett put on an attacking 50-run stand with fellow opener Zak Crawley, batting on 29, before Ravichandran Ashwin got him out for his 497th Test wicket.
Nightwatchman Rehan Ahmed, on nine, joined Crawley with England needing another 332 for victory.
The highest fourth-innings target successfully chased against India is England’s 378 at Edgbaston in 2022, and the most successful in India was when the hosts got 387 against England in 2008.
Spinners Tom Hartley and Ahmed combined to bowl out India for 255 after Gill’s 104 on a day of bowling and fielding brilliance.
