Team India orchestrated a remarkable turnaround in the fourth Test against England at JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. The third day witnessed India’s spinners seizing control of proceedings with outstanding bowling displays, completely dismantling the English batting lineup.

Rohit Sharma’s light-hearted moment

During the match, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was seen in his usual demeanor, reminding star batter Sarfaraz Khan to wear a helmet while fielding close to the batter. This incident occurred during the 47th over of England’s second innings when Sarfaraz approached the field without a helmet.

The match official also informed him that he couldn’t field in such proximity to the batter without proper headgear. The clip of Rohit cautioning Sarfaraz with the words, “aye bhai, zyada hero mat ban,” quickly went viral on social media platforms, including X (formerly known as Twitter).
