pc: tv9hindi
Rohit Sharma is known not only for his exceptional batting and captaincy skills but also for his on-field and off-field reactions. In the Ranchi Test against England, when the Indian team opted for a review against Joe Root's LBW decision, Rohit showed his typical reaction. Although the third umpire declared him not out, the match production company continuously displayed Rohit Sharma on the big screen during the review. Seeing this, Rohit Sharma also got irritated and while pointing at the field itself, he said that instead of showing his face on the big screen, replays should be shown.
Rohit's focus:

This is not the first time that Rohit Sharma has faced such a situation. During the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia, he was similarly focused on by a cameraman during a review, which led to a similar light-hearted reaction from the player. Well, if we talk about the review of the Ranchi Test, the third umpire gave Root not out and this player batted amazingly and scored his first half-century in this series.
England's top order was destroyed in Ranchi.
In the Ranchi Test, England's top order faltered before lunch and they lost their five wickets. Despite a commendable batting performance from Root and Foakes, the rest of the top order including Ben Duckett, Olly Pope, Ben Stokes, Jack Crawley and Bairstow returned to the pavilion early. Akash Deep, who debuted for England, played a vital role in taking important wickets and contributed to England's early dismissals. Akash Deep dismissed Ben Duckett, Olly Pope and Zak Crawley, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes.
