India displayed their formidable prowess on the opening day in Dharamsala, swiftly dismissing England for a meager 218 on what appeared to be a track favoring batsmen.
Central to this success was Rohit Sharma’s astute captaincy, marked by his proactive approach and adept management of the bowling resources.
Notably, Rohit’s decision to entrust Kuldeep Yadav, despite his lower standing in the series, underscored his tactical acumen.
However, amidst the intense play on Thursday, Rohit’s actions veered into the unconventional, adding an intriguing twist to the proceedings.
During the 46th over, as Kuldeep Yadav prepared to bowl, Rohit Sharma displayed visible dissatisfaction with the field placements.

Taking matters into his own hands, Rohit personally adjusted the position of Sarfaraz Khan at short leg, involving a light-hearted moment of camaraderie between them. Subsequently, he repeated this process with Yashasvi Jaiswal at leg slip, albeit with less flamboyance, marking positions with his feet rather than animated gestures.
