WATCH: Rohit Sharma gestures to slap Ishan Kishan on first day of Ahmedabad Test

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is currently in the headlines of social media for his unexpected gesture for the Indian player Ishan Kishan. Notably, Kishan6 is not a part of the playing XI in the ongoing fourth of the four-match Test series against Australia. It all happened when Ishan Kishan was returning back to the dressing room after the drinks break.

Meanwhile, Rohit was handing over the water bottle to Ishan; the latter missed to handle the bottle successfully and it fell down on the ground. Just after realizing the same while running in his direction, Ishan came back and immediately collected the bottle. It looked like the fumble didn’t go down well with the skipper Rohit Sharma and he gestured in a way to slap Ishan.

The video of this moment is now making rounds on social media just within minutes of being shared by a Twitter user on the micro-blogging site.

Here’s the video:
