Rohit Sharma and stump mic recordings have become a different story, altogether. One more incident during the IND vs SL 1st ODI has left the fans laughing following the Indian skipper's casual attitude.
The hilarious incident took place during Washington Sundar's over. On the fifth ball, Wellalage failed to attempt a shot which ended up in making appeal from the "Men in Blue." The appeal was turned down by the on-field umpire.
Later, the Indian players looked toward Rohit Sharma to take a DRS call. As the skipper was not confident, Sundar too from the bowlers' end didn't show much confidence. That's when Rohit Sharma said, "What, you tell me, mere ko kya dekh raha hai?"
