Team India captain Rohit Sharma is known for his wits and unfiltered emotion. The sheer candidness of Rohit often fascinates cricket followers around the world and provides numerous cherishable moments for fans. In the latest, the Indian skipper once again used his wits and came up with an appreciation post for rising India stars after they played a crucial role in India's historic victory over England in the 3rd Test match in Rajkot.
Rohit Sharma posted a collage picture on Instagram featuring Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel. In the photo, Jaiswal and Sarfaraz can be seen celebrating with both their hands raised in the air with delight while Jurel can be seen pulling off Ben Duckett's run out with remarkable piece of game awareness and agility.
Rohit captioned his Instagram story "Ye aajkal ke bacche (Kids these days)".
India teaches 'Bazballers' a lesson in Rajkot
At the close of Day 3 of the Rajkot Test, with India holding a commanding lead of over 300 runs in the match, England's opener Ben Duckett expressed confidence in England's aggressive 'Bazball' playing style, suggesting that a higher target would be preferable. Duckett even insinuated that England's bold approach had influenced India's assertive performance in Rajkot.
Unfortunately for Duckett and England, this optimism proved outlandish as they were dismissed for a mere 122 in their ambitious chase of 557, largely due to Yashasvi Jaiswal's outstanding century that left England's bowlers struggling. The win by 434 runs marked India's largest victory margin in Test cricket, propelling the Rohit Sharma-captained team to a 2-1 lead in the series.
Rohit lauded the effort of Jaiswal after the completion of Rajkot Test in his own classic Hitman style.
"I have spoken a lot about him, in Vizag as well, people outside the changeroom have spoken as well. I don't want to talk too much about him, he has started his career on a high, I want him to continue doing well," Rohit said in the post-match presentation.
