Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was left frustrated in the dugout following Sarfaraz Khan's dismissal during the pink-ball warm-up encounter against Australia Prime Minister's XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Sunday. During the 44th over of the Indian innings, Rohit was seen signaling to the two batters out in the middle - Sarfaraz and Washington Sundar - to go for big shots. However, just three balls later, Sarfaraz was caught down the leg side by the wicket-keeper off the bowling of Jack Clayton. Sarfaraz seemed confused after he was given out and in the dressing room, Rohit covered his head in disappointment.

"Jasprit Bumrah Is A Joke...": Ex-England Pacer's "Best Player In The World" Verdict

"Wahin Unhe Maarke Aao": Shoaib Akhtar's Explosive Take On Champions Trophy Row

Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar isn't on board with how the ICC Champions Trophy saga has dragged on. A hybrid model has reportedly been agreed between all parties, though the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made a few demands to give their stamp of approval.

However, PCB has also reportedly demanded all ICC events, to be held in India, be organised in a hybrid model too.

Watch: Virat Kohli Faces Jasprit Bumrah In Intense Net Session, Skip Pink-Ball Practice Match

Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, the main architects behind India's massive 295-run win over Australia in the 1st Test in Perth, skipped the two-day pink-ball practice match against Prime Minister's XI. Instead, the two were seen facing off against each other in an intense net session at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. It was a no show from Kohli and Bumrah as the duo did not feature at all in the second day of the tour game after the opening day of the match was completely washed out.

"Sachin Tendulkar Wasn't A Big Name": Ex-Australia Cricketer-Turned-Lawyer Who Got Him Out In 1991/92 PM's XI Game

Arguably the greatest batsman of all time, Sachin Tendulkar amassed nearly 16,000 Test runs in a glittering career. Tendulkar is also the highest scorer among Indian batters in Australia. However, when an 18-year old Sachin Tendulkar toured Australia in the summer of 1991/92, he wasn't so popular. On the eve of India's warm-up match against the Prime Minister's XI, Greg Rowell, an Australian lawyer who used to be a first-class cricketer, has narrated a heartwarming story of how he got Tendulkar out in the same game 23 years ago.

"We Were A Little Unlucky That...": Rohit Sharma's Honest View After Warm-Up Match Win

India skipper Rohit Sharma is pleased with their curtailed warm-up game time after defeating the Australian Prime Minister's XI by six wickets at the Manuka Oval on Sunday. The opening day of the two-day pink-ball match was washed out due to rain and the match was reduced to 46-over per side with more rain on the second day of the encounter. With Shubman Gill scoring a half-century after missing the first Test due to a left thumb injury and Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul retaining their spot as openers despite Rohit's return, India ticked all boxes before heading to the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, starting on December 6.
