Rohit Sharma’s Hilarious Comment on Stump Mic During India vs South Africa Match Goes Viral
India’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma is making headlines once again, but this time not specifically for his on-field heroics. During the ongoing match between India and South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, Rohit Sharma made a terrific decision to take the Decision Review System (DRS) against the in-form Heinrich Klaasen. However, it was the hilarious remark that he made before taking the review that has caught the attention of cricket fans across the globe.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Rohit Sharma can be heard saying, Review banta hai lene ke liye, ye hi hai ek batsman hai bhen****, which loosely translates to We need to take the review, he is the only batsman left in a humorous manner. This witty comment was caught on the stump mic and has garnered a lot of attention and laughter from fans all around.
The incident occurred in the 13th over of South Africa’s run chase when Ravindra Jadeja, the bowler, delivered a flighted ball to Klaasen, who attempted a sweep but missed and was struck on the front pad. Despite the appeals from all the Indian players on the field, the on-field umpire didn’t give it out. However, after consulting with Jadeja and wicketkeeper KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma decided to opt for the DRS.
Upon review, the replays confirmed that the ball was indeed going to hit the stumps, with three reds appearing on the giant screen at the stadium. The on-field umpire had no choice but to reverse his decision, declaring Klaasen out. This was Jadeja’s second wicket of the match, as he had earlier bowled the South African captain, Temba Bavuma, for 11 runs in the 9th over.
This wicket further dented South Africa’s chances of chasing down India’s massive total of 326 for 5, which was primarily thanks to Virat Kohli’s brilliant unbeaten 101. When the Proteas were reduced to 40 for 4 in the 13th over, it became clear that India was on their way to securing their eighth consecutive victory in the ICC World Cup.
It is worth mentioning that both India and South Africa have already qualified for the semi-finals, making this match more of a preparation for the knockout stage. Nevertheless, Rohit Sharma’s humorous remark, captured on the stump mic, added an entertaining twist to the otherwise intense match.
As the video continues to go viral on social media platforms, fans are praising Rohit Sharma for his quick wit and humorous nature. His comment has certainly provided a lighter moment amidst the competitive atmosphere of the match. With Rohit Sharma’s popularity soaring, it remains to be seen if he will continue to shine both with the bat and with his hilarious remarks in the upcoming matches.
