Do Awaz Hai". Then Umpire Does This In India vs West Indies 1st T20I

It's difficult to get the eyes off Rohit Sharma when the camera is on him, which is quite often the case now ever since he took over as India's limited-overs captain.

In between the confusion of whether to go for a DRS listening to the bowler Ravi Bishnoi and former captain Virat Kohli, Rohit found time to pass on a comment at the on-field umpire's wide call. "Wide kidhar de raha hai yaar?" (How can you call it a wide?) Rohit said when the umpire stretched his arms ignoring a confident appeal from debutant Bishnoi.

"Bishnoi is a very talented guy which is why we drafted him into the squad straightaway. We see something different in him. He's got a lot of variations and skill-sets with him. He can bowl at any stage and it gives us a lot of options to rotate the other bowlers," Rohit said at the post-match presentation.
