Rohit Sharma, known for his humor, displayed his witty side during the 3rd T20I against Afghanistan. After experiencing two consecutive ducks in the series, Rohit humorously interacted with umpire Virender Sharma over a decision made in the first over.
The umpire had mistakenly signaled leg byes for the first ball that Rohit had hit for a boundary. Captured by the stump mic, Rohit playfully addressed the umpire as he was crossing over for the change of strike.
He inquired, "Ae Viru, thigh pad diya kya pehla ball? (Hey Viru (Virender Sharma), did you give the first ball as leg byes?" Rohit then light-heartedly pointed out the umpire's error, remarking, "Itna bada bat laga hai. Mera 2 zero ho gaya hai. (It went off my bat, I have already gotten out for 2 ducks in a row)"
This amusing exchange caught the attention of netizens, who thoroughly enjoyed hearing Rohit's comical comments during the game.
