Indian captain Rohit Sharma showed his disappointment at his team’s performance during the Gabba Test when a peculiar delivery prompted him to question his player on the field. Sharma’s frustrations became evident as he was caught on camera expressing his annoyance.
The issue arose when Navdeep Saini, an Indian fast bowler, executed an unusual delivery during the match. The awkward release led to the ball landing way outside the off stump, which bemused Sharma. The captain’s reaction was caught on stump mic, and he was heard saying in Hindi, “Sar Mein Kuch Hai?” which translates to “Is there something in your head?”
Teammates, as well as fans watching the match, were equally puzzled by Saini’s unexpected delivery. The incident took place in the 35th over of the match as India was attempting to defend their score against Australia.
The Gabba Test had its share of challenges for both teams. It was, in particular, a tough test for the Indian squad, dealing with multiple injuries among its players. Despite these hurdles, the cricketing world was watching closely to see how India and Australia would perform against each other in this high-voltage series.
Rohit Sharma’s outburst is being seen as a sign of the pressure that the Indian team was under during the match. While the moment was quickly passed off as a heat-of-the-moment reaction from Sharma, the incident underscores the tension prevalent in such high-stakes cricket matches.
