Rohit Sharma gave a mouthful to Yashasvi Jaiswal after the latter jumped prematurely while fielding at the forward short leg on Day 1 of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.
The incident took place when Ravindra Jadeja was bowling to Steve Smith after Tea. Smith played a defensive shot against Jadeja, prompting Jaiswal to make a short jump. Looking visibly annoyed, Rohit yelled at Jaiswal, “Arre Jaisu, gully cricket khel raha hai kya?” which was caught on stump mic leaving the commentators burst into laughter.
The Indian captain further instructed Jaiswal, “Niche baith ke rah, jab tak ball khelega nahi, uthne ka nahi.”
Rohit’s aggressive approach reflected the high stakes of the game with every player to strive under pressure.
