Watch: “Mere Gale Ka…”, Rohit Sharma’s Meltdown In 2nd Test Caught On Stump Mic
India captain Rohit Sharma was caught by a stump mic shouting at his teammates during the second Test against England.
Rohit Sharma is a pure entertainer, not just as a batter but also as a human being. More often than not, the India captain leaves journalists in splits with his wit in press conferences. Even on the field as a skipper, Rohit has a unique way of dealing with his teammates. During the second Test against England in Vizag, a few of Rohit’s instructions to players were caught on the stump mic, and the video of the same has surfaced on social media.
In the video, Rohit could be heard saying, “mere gale ka waat lag gaya chilla chilla ke tum sab ko (my throat has started to pain because of how much I have been shouting at you guys)”.
The video left fans on social media cherishing the character Rohit is. Here’s the video:

After India secured a 106-run victory against England in the match, Rohit was full of praise for his players, especially Jasprit Bumrah.
“He is a champion player for us (Bumrah). When you win a game like that, you have to look at the overall performance as well. We were good with the bat. You know winning a Test in these conditions is not easy. Wanted our bowlers to step up and they did that. He looks like a good player and understands his game really well. Long way to go for him, has got a lot to offer for our team. Hope he stays humble,” Rohit said in a post-match presentation.
Rohit also lauded the youngsters for stepping up in the match, considering the likes of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were not playing.
“The wickets were really good to bat on. If I have to point anything, lot of the batters got starts but couldn’t get big scores. But I understand they’re young and new to the game. Important for us to give them confidence. Very proud of such a young squad to come up against a team like that. Lot of the guys are quite young in terms of playing this form of the game. It’ll take some time to be absolutely spot on. Want them to play freely without any pressure. Last couple of years England have been playing good cricket. Knew it wasn’t going to be an easy series. Three more to go. We’ll keep our check on it and make sure we do most things right,” he asserted.
