Sarfaraz was fielding without a helmet at silly point on Day 3 of the fourth Test match against England in Ranchi. This is when Rohit told him to get the safety gear first. "Aye bhai, hero nahi banne ka (hey brother, don't be a hero here)," told the caring captain. The 12th man then gave Sarfaraz a helmet and the play resumed.

Players "Gravitate" Towards Rohit Sharma: Rahul Dravid's Monumental Praise After Test Series Win vs England

Rohit Sharma's captaincy was rather understated vis-a-vis Ben Stokes' on-the-edge methods, but India head coach Rahul Dravid was delighted to see the players identify themselves with the Mumbaikar's leadership principles. Under Rohit, India never made tall claims even once but silently and categorically nullified the visitors' much-talked-about 'Bazball' and grabbed the five-match series 4-1. "I'm privileged to work with a lovely team. I'm learning from them all the time. Rohit has been fantastic to work with. I think he's a terrific leader, and the guys gravitate towards him phenomenally, which is fantastic to see," said Dravid told broadcasters after the match.

Shubman Gill Breaks Silence On Batting At No. 3 Amid Inconsistent Performances

Indian cricket team batter Shubman Gill said that he did not think about going back to opening the batting when he was going through a rough patch in his career. Gill, who slammed a brilliant century on Day 2 of the fifth Test match against England in Dharamsala on Friday, struggled to score runs before the ongoing series. With Yashasvi Jaiswal opening the innings with Rohit Sharma, Gill was given the No. 3 position and it took him some time to get accustomed to it. However, he bounced back brilliantly and has already scored more than 400 runs in the ongoing five-match Test series against England.
