IND v AFG 2024: WATCH – “2 zero ho chuke hai,” Rohit Sharma shows his sense of humour; asks umpire about first ball leg bye call

Rohit Sharma's funny conversation with the umpire was caught on camera.

Rohit Sharma | JioCinemaIndia skipper Rohit Sharma showed his humorous side in the third and final T20I against Afghanistan at Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore on Wednesday (January 17).

Rohit came into the third T20I on the back of successive ducks in the first two games. While the right-handed opener got run out for a two-ball duck in the series opener in Mohali, he was cleaned up by Fazalhaq Farooqi for a golden duck in the second match.

As Rohit faced the first delivery in the third T20I from Fareed Ahmad, the umpire signalled four leg byes. However, the Indian captain was certain that the ball touched his bat.

Rohit Sharma was left a bit bemused by the four leg byes and he did let the umpire know about it in his unique style.

"Hey Beeru, did you give the first ball as thigh pad - It clearly touched the bat. I have already been dismissed for zero twice," cameras caught Rohit as saying.

Here’s the video:

Having won the first two games, Team India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
