Stump microphones have become an integral part of cricket broadcasting, capturing numerous memorable moments straight from the field. During the first session of Day 2 in the fourth Test match between India and England in Ranchi, an amusing exchange took place between Sarfaraz Khan and Shoaib Bashir, which was picked up by the stump mic.
Following Ollie Robinson’s achievement of scoring his first Test half-century on Day 2, he was dismissed while attempting a reverse-sweep off Ravindra Jadeja, caught behind. Subsequently, Shoaib Bashir replaced him and partnered with Joe Root in the middle. As Bashir prepared to face his first delivery, Sarfaraz, stationed at silly point, humorously remarked, “Isko toh Hindi nahi aati [He doesn’t understand Hindi].” Bashir responded, “Thodi thodi aati hai Hindi [I do understand a little Hindi].” This lighthearted banter between the two players provided entertainment to cricket fans and players alike.

Unfortunately, Bashir’s innings was short-lived as he fell to Ravindra Jadeja for a duck. Attempting a bold shot across the line, he only managed to produce a leading edge, which was safely caught by Rajat Patidar at backward point. This incident added to the collection of amusing moments captured by stump microphones, delighting cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
