IND vs SA, 1st Test: Ben Stokes Takes Funny Dig At Rohit For Cussing Cheteshwar Pujara

The incident happened when Rohit was on strike with Cheteshwar Pujara at the other end and was sent back by the latter while looking for a run

The viewers have often seen Virat Kohli urging cuss words during a game of cricket. But on Saturday, Rohit Sharm was heard speaking a few of those while batting against South Africa in Visakhapatnam. The incident happened when Rohit was on strike with Cheteshwar Pujara at the other end and was sent back by the latter while looking for a run. When making his way to the crease, Rohit urged Pujara to run while using a Hindi expletive in the sentence. Here’s the video:

The clip went viral on social media and even England all-rounder Ben Stokes took notice of that. He tweeted about the expletive, which happens to rhyme with his name, in June when people tweeted images of Virat Kohli using the word and joking that it was Stokes' name that he was invoking. Here’s the post:

This time it’s Rohit not Virat....if you know you know 😂

Rohit followed up his first innings score of 176 with a quickfire 127 in the second innings as India looked to pile on as runs as quickly as possible. He thus joined an exclusive club of Indian batsmen who have scored two centuries in a single Test. He also became the first batsman ever to score twin tons in his first Test as an opener.
