Team India skipper Rohit Sharma drew attention during the India vs Prime Minister XI warm-up match in Canberra with a funny moment that quickly went viral. In a lighthearted instance, Rohit appeared to beat Sarfaraz Khan in a playful banter when Sarfaraz dropped a straighforward catch behind the stumps.
The incident occurred during the 23rd over, when Harshit Rana bowled a bouncer to Oliver Davies. The ball went to Sarfaraz, but he couldn’t hold onto it, leaving Rohit unimpressed and pounded the youngster on his back playfully.

India bowl the hosts out for 240 after winning the toss
On Day 2, India won the toss and chose to bowl first. Rohit Sharma comes back as captain after missing the first test due to paternity leave. The Indian team got off to a strong start, dismissing two early wickets and putting the Prime Minister’s XI in a challenging position.
However, Sam Konstas played a brilliant knock, scoring a century despite the challenging circumstances. Harshit Rana was the standout bowler of the match, taking four wickets in a remarkable spell. He claimed four wickets in just six balls, marking a sensational moment in the match.
India is preparing for the upcoming day-night Test against Australia at Adelaide, which starts on December 6. After a historic victory in Perth, India leads the series 1-0 and is eager to extend their dominance in the series with another strong performance in the second Test.
