The battle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia continues. The fourth Test of this high-voltage 5-match series is being played in Melbourne. On Day 2, India’s position worsened due to Steve Smith’s century, and once again, the Indian team finds itself in a difficult situation in this Test match.
In the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, while Australia has pushed India completely onto the backfoot, on the other hand, some interesting remarks by Indian captain Rohit Sharma have been caught on the stump mic. Here, Rohit Sharma was seen getting frustrated over the lack of wickets and even talking about bowling himself.
On Friday, Day 2 of the Test match, some of Rohit Sharma’s comments were captured on the stump mic, where he expressed his frustration over the Australian batsmen not getting out, and was angry with his own players. He even talked about taking the ball himself. The video has since gone viral on social media.
On the second day of the match, Australia’s star batter Steve Smith, along with captain Pat Cummins, gave the Indian bowlers a tough time. Later, Smith and Mitchell Starc formed a strong partnership. During this time, Rohit Sharma was heard talking to his bowler Ravindra Jadeja.
According to the audio captured by the stump mic, Rohit said, “It won’t work, buddy, he’ll get out there, it’s too long there…” When Jadeja responded, Rohit continued, “We need to get him out, yaar… Who will get him out then… Me…?” This exchange between Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja quickly went viral.
