IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma deploys unique field in Dharamsala Test

India and England are facing off in the final Test of the five-match series at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Rohit Sharma, known for his classy one-liners that fans often hear from the stump cam mic, has recently showcased another funny side during the ongoing Test.

He was observed setting a field position in a unique manner that truly caught the fans' attention. Using his shoes, he marked towards leg gully and instructed Sarfaraz Khan to stand, doing the same with Yashavi Jaiswal by asking him to take the slip position.

Recently, Sarfaraz Khan received some schooling from skipper Rohit Sharma on Day 3 of the Ranchi Test. Rohit, in his usual hilarious way, gave Sarfaraz an earful and prevented him from fielding at the silly point without a helmet.

The incident occurred when Sarfaraz was asked to field at silly point with Shoaib Bashir at the crease, during the last session of the game on Sunday. Sarfaraz promptly followed the skipper’s call but took his position without wearing a helmet and tried to convince Rohit to let him field without the protective gear.

This prompted Rohit to intervene, as he scolded Sarfaraz for attempting such a dangerous stunt, which could have had adverse effects. Rohit, in his unfiltered avatar, made sure to stress the importance of safety.

India wrap England up for just 218 on Day 1

Coming to the ongoing match, India wrapped up England with just 218 runs on the board on Day 1 of the match. This was largely due to a brilliant five-wicket haul by Kuldeep Yadav and a four-wicket haul by Ravichandran Ashwin. Zak Crawley top-scored for the English batting lineup with 77 runs, yet again unable to convert his start into a big knock, as has been the pattern in the series. Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Foakes all got starts, scoring in the 20s, but failed to capitalise on their innings.

Looking ahead, India will be eager to conclude the series with another solid win in this match, aiming for a 4-1 series victory, having won the last three matches after losing the opener. On the other hand, England will be keen to demonstrate resilience and win the last Test to end the series with a 3-2 scoreline.
