India captain Rohit Sharma was furious with debutant wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan's approach during Day 3 of the recently-concluded first Test against West Indies in Dominica.

After Rohit was seen throwing gestures at Kishan, the youngster took a single on the very next ball before he and Jadeja and Ravindra Jadeja were called back to the pavillion.

Former Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Butt believes that India skipper Rohit Sharma has not performed in pressure situations for quite some time now and he needs to work on it ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023.
