Vizag: A video of Rohit Sharma, during India’s second innings, abusing Cheteshwar Pujara, who was at the non-striker’s end for not taking a quick single has been going viral on social media.
The voice of Rohit, picked up by the stump mic has taken social media on storm. Rohit, who is in a mind boggling form with the bat, was looking to take a quick single but Pujara did not oblige. India’s new-found opener used an expletive in Hindi to express his frustration.

Soon, the video went viral on social media and the incident got a reaction from the England all rounder as well. For the uninitiated, Kohli is believed to use the expletive quite often on the field. However, the general consensus on social media is that Kohli keeps on saying “Ben Stokes”.

When Rohit used the same words, Stokes could not stop himself from tweeting, “This time it’s Rohit not Virat….if you know you know.”
“I may delete Twitter just so I don’t have to see another tweet reading, “He’s saying Ben Stokes”(when he’s clearly not??)in reply to a video of Virat saying you know what ??????????it was funny the first 100,000 times,” Stokes had tweeted.
As far as the match is concerned, Rohit Sharma began a new chapter in his Test career on a bright note by becoming the first batsman to score two centuries in his first match as an opener to take India’s second innings total to 323/4 against South Africa in Vizag Saturday.
