Rohit Sharma gets invovles in a funny interaction with Kuldeep Yadav over DRS during 2nd IND vs ENG Test
Team India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, is renowned for his humorous interactions with players, both on and off the field. In the ongoing second Test between India and England, another amusing exchange unfolded between the skipper and spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The pair has been known to have some skepticism regarding the ace spinner’s judgment in initiating DRS reviews.
During the third over, after India set a target of 399 runs for England, an incident occurred while appealing against opener Zak Crawley. Jasprit Bumrah, the fiery pacer, was bowling and narrowly missed Crawley’s bat. This prompted a discussion among Rohit Sharma, keeper KS Bharat, and Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep attempted to persuade the Indian skipper to take the chance, believing Crawley had nicked the ball. Despite Kuldeep’s insistence, Rohit Sharma decided to review the decision. However, the DRS did not favor India, revealing a significant gap between Crawley’s bat and the ball.
Following the unsuccessful review, Rohit Sharma reacted humorously upon seeing the verdict on the giant screen. To everyone’s surprise, Kuldeep Yadav, stationed at square leg, was positioned farther away than Bharat and Bumrah, making it unlikely for him to accurately spot the bat-ball connection.
Here is the funny video of Rohit Sharma with Kuldeep Yadav.
Despite Bharat and Bumrah’s reluctance, India retained their DRS. Nonetheless, Rohit Sharma couldn’t resist poking fun at Kuldeep Yadav afterward, clapping and pointing towards him in a lighthearted attempt to tease him for his unsuccessful streak in DRS review calls for Team India
