5 instances when Rohit Sharma lost his temper on the field

2) Rohit Sharma getting angry at Navdeep Saini and asking him to use his head

A captain should generally motivate the youngsters in his team instead of scolding them. However, Rohit Sharma didn’t do this as he once went on to get angry at Navdeep Saini. This was when Rohit was in charge as Kohli had to go off the field.

During the third T20I between South Africa and India in 2019, India’s vice-captain was seen losing his temper and getting frustrated at Saini. It occurred in the 12th over of the South Africa innings, with opposition captain Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma gradually taking the match away from India’s hands. Skipper Virat Kohli had gone off the field and his deputy Rohit Sharma was in charge of the team. Rohit then reacted furiously to Saini conceding two consecutive boundaries.

His gesture suggested that he was asking Saini to use his brain. He was seemingly angry at Saini for bowling in the slot and then bowling a full toss to Bavuma the very next ball. South Africa went on to win this match and level the T20I series 1-1.
