Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma is well known for his hilarious one-liners and in recent times, he has been caught delivering witty quips on the stump mic in the middle of the matches.

Rohit was dismissed for a duck in the two previous matches of the series and in the third match, he got off the mark with a boundary. However, umpire Virender Sharma signalled that it was a leg-bye which led to Rohit delivering an epic dialogue. “Arey Viru, thigh-pad diya kya pehla four? Bat laga tha! (Hey Viru, did you signal for the thigh pad on the first four? I hit that with my bat!)”
