IND vs ENG [WATCH]: Rohit Sharma’s witty stump mic remark for Jonny Bairstow during the Dharamsala Test goes viral

Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma once again showcased his quick wit on the field during the ongoing fifth Test match between India and England in Dharamsala. Known for his explosive batting and humorous remarks, Rohit delivered a gem of a comment aimed at English batter Jonny Bairstow, which quickly went viral on social media platforms.

Jonny Bairstow’s milestone match

The match holds special significance for Bairstow as he marks his 100th Test appearance for England, joining the elite list of cricketers to achieve this feat. Bairstow’s journey in Test cricket began in 2012 against the West Indies, and he becomes the 17th English cricketer to reach this milestone. Coincidentally, Ravichandran Ashwin of India also celebrates his 100th Test in this historic game.

Rohit Sharma’s witty comment caught on stump mic

As Bairstow stepped onto the pitch after the dismissal of Zak Crawley, Rohit’s tactical advice to his bowlers caught everyone’s attention. In a light-hearted moment captured by the stump mic, Rohit humorously suggested to bowler Kuldeep Yadav, “Isko Toh Kuch Bhi Daal” (Bowl whatever you want to him), referring to Bairstow. The video clip of this exchange quickly gained traction on social media platforms, showcasing Rohit’s witty side.
