Indian skipper Rohit Sharma made it to the headlines of social media after getting caught by the stump mic on the second day of the recently concluded second Test match against South Africa. Notably, India defeated South Africa by a margin of 7 wickets in the second and last Test to equal the two-match series by 1-1 after a loss in the first Test at the Centurion.
Coming back to Rohit Sharma, he was caught on stump-mic while using a hard-core local Indian slang during a discussion on DRS with former Indian skipper and his teammate, Virat Kohli. It happened at the last ball of the 34th over in the second innings of South Africa when Rohit caught Nandre Burger at the short-leg position and tried to appeal for a catch.
“Le Leta hun, M#$ C#@# gya,” said Rohit Sharma.
“Lele, lele kya pata inside edge ho, (yeah go for it, there may be an inside edge)” replied former skipper Virat Kohli. Both the Indian veterans were caught by stump mic while saying all these things. The video of this moment also went viral over social media as soon as it was shared by a user over X (formerly Twitter).
