Rohit Sharma's 'Unfiltered Thoughts' On Steve Smith Caught On Stump Mic. WATCH

Rohit Sharma's epic innings saw a rather hilarious incident happen which took place when the senior opener was batting at 115 in the 77th over of the Indian innings and Jadeja was new to the crease.

India vs Australia 1st Test, Day 2: IND vs AUS 1st Test of the four-match IND vs AUS Test series is being played  at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Nagpur. Captain Rohit Sharma's (120) heroic ton helped India get a decent 144-run lead over Australia on Day 2 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. By the end of Day 2's play, India scored 321 runs after losing 7 wickets in the first innings, courtesy of Rohit's ton, unbeaten half-centuries from Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel resulting in an unbeaten 81-run partnership.

Meanwhile, Rohit's epic innings saw a rather hilarious incident happen which took place when the senior opener was batting at 115 in the 77th over of the Indian innings and Jadeja was new to the crease. A delivery off part-time spinner Marnus Labuschangne was played swiftly by Rohit as it went straight to Australian vice-captain Steve Smith in the outfield. After completing a single, Jadeja wanted to rotate the strike once again to make it two but Rohit, who was aware of Smith's lethal throwing skills, denied a second run to his batting partner. A video clip of what Rohit said to Jadeja while denying the second run, his unfiltered thoughts on Smith's throwing skills, was caught on the stump mic and went viral on social media.

"Yeh pagal hai thoda, sach me," Rohit can be heard saying to Jadeja in the video. 

On the Nagpur pitch where batters of both Australia and India struggled to score runs, captain Rohit Sharma notched up one his most impressive Test hundreds under pressure on Day 2 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The senior opener completed this century by hammering Todd Murphy for a blistering four. By the virtue of this ton, Rohit became the first player from India to score a century in all three formats as captain.

Before Rohit, Tillakaratne Dilshan of Sri Lanka, Faf du Plessis of South Africa and Babar Azam of Pakistan have attained this feat. Rohit, Friday, scored the 9th century of his Test career, his 43rd century in International cricket.
