"See, I don't have any favourite line as such and I don't even do it deliberately. Now I am the captain so I stand in the slips, because the angle from there helps me get a better look at the fielders and take stock of DRS. So I keep talking to the fielders and it gets recorded," said at an event in Bilaspur.

Apart from delivering stump-mic gems, the Indian skipper has been on point with his tactics and bowling changes helping India make a comeback after being 0-1 down following a 28-run loss in the series opener in Hyderabad. With the bat, the opening batter is the fifth-highest run scorer of the series with 297 runs from eight innings at an average of 37.12 with one hundred and one fifty to his name.
