Apart from the fierce contest between bat and ball, the ongoing Test series between India and Australia has witnessed some amusing moments on the field.

The latest instance that left everyone in splits came from India opener Rohit Sharma, who decided to play the umpire's role and raised his finger after DRS confirmed David Warner’s LBW dismissal off Washington Sundar’s bowling.

During the first session on Day 4 at the Gabba, Sundar trapped Warner and the Australian opted for a review. While DRS vindicated the straight forward call made by umpire Paul Wilson on the field, cameras focussed on him once again to repeat his decision but also caught Rohit raising the finger alongside the former.

Here’s the video:

Rohit’s funny antics also reminded a fan of former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting, who had controversially raised his finger to give Sourav Ganguly out during the 2008 Sydney Test, which is also famous for the 'MonkeyGate' scandal involving Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds.
