India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma are set to appear in the ODI Asia Cup final for the second consecutive time after Asia Cup 2018. India will take on the hosts, Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup 2023. It will also be the 11th time Team India will be playing in the summit clash in the history of the Asia Cup so far. They will be eyeing their 8th Asia Cup title while taking the field against Sri Lanka on Sunday.
Meanwhile, just ahead of this highly-anticipated match against the reigning champions, a video of star Indian batter and skipper Rohit Sharma is making rounds on social media. However, the complete conversation seems to be unavailable but the skipper can be heard denying something to Gill in the uploaded part of the video.
“Ye ese nahin hoga, pagal hai kya (It can’t be done like this, are you crazy)?” said Rohit Sharma to Shubman Gill in the viral video.
Here’s the video:
