A video is going viral on social media in which Rohit Sharma is dismissing Marnus Labuschagne. The five-match Test series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. There is a lot at stake in this important Test match to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship. In such a situation, the emotions of the players are coming to the fore on the cricket field. The incident occurred after Rohit Sharma expressed his displeasure over Marnus Labuschagne and Sam Constance repeatedly running into a dangerous area of the pitch.
Classes were held on the field itself
Rohit Sharma expressed anger over the fact that if Marnus Labuschagne repeatedly runs into the danger area, the pitch will get spoiled. In such a situation, when the batsmen of Team India come to bat, they may have to face problems due to the bad pitch. Rohit Sharma’s clash with Marnus Labuschagne caught the attention of fans and commentators. Clarifying the situation, former Indian all-rounder and commentator Irfan Pathan said, ‘Rohit Sharma is saying that when you are running to score runs, you are running into the pitch.’
Sunil Gavaskar gave statement
India’s legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar also reiterated Irfan Pathan’s words and said, ‘Same constance too. You saw Sam Constance running straight onto the pitch and nobody said anything to him. Taking aim at the umpires, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘And the umpires are just watching there. There is a conversation going on between Rohit Sharma and Marnus Labuschagne and the umpire is just watching. Virat Kohli, who was fielding in the slip cordon, was also seen expressing his displeasure on this issue. After this, Marnus Labuschagne seemed to agree with Rohit Sharma and nodded.
