India Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma was caught on camera and his expression of frustration during a pink-ball practice match against Australia’s Prime Minister’s XI has caught the internet’s attention. The game, held at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, was part of India’s preparations for the upcoming Adelaide Test. It wasn’t just India's win by six-wicket that made headlines; Rohit’s reaction to Sarfaraz Khan’s strange dismissal became a talking point.

Team India delivered a commanding six-wicket win. Chasing 241 runs, India’s batting unit displayed excellent form. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill shone with unbeaten knocks of 45 and 50, respectively. While, Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar added valuable contributions with 42 runs each. Earlier, Harshit Rana continued his good form, taking an outstanding four-wicket haul to keep the Prime Minister’s XI to a modest total.

Despite the comfortable win, the focus shifted to Sarfaraz Khan’s bizarre dismissal late in the game. With the victory already secured, India decided to continue batting for practice purposes. In the 44th over, Sarfaraz was caught down the leg side after edging a delivery to the wicketkeeper. Initially confused by the appeal, he walked back to the dugout after being declared out. 

The incident drew a frustrated yet amusing reaction from Rohit Sharma, who was sitting in the dugout. Rohit covered his head with his hands and seemed torn between laughter and exasperation, which left commentators puzzled as to whether he was “laughing or crying.”

Rohit Sharma Fails To Deliver At No. 4

Rohit’s frustration wasn’t just about the dismissal; it also reflected concerns about his own batting position. In the same match, Rohit’s experiment of batting at No. 4 didn’t pay off, as he managed only 3 runs off 11 balls. This has raised certain questions about where he might bat in the Pink-ball Test.

The team management also took a calculated approach by resting senior players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant. While these players focused on net sessions near the venue, the rest of the squad used the match to fine-tune their form and strategy.
