Rohit Sharma 'Runs To Hit Washington Sundar', Video Has Everyone In Splits
India captain Rohit Sharma continues to be in the limelight for his on-field antics. However, this time, it was not his one-liner caught on stump mic that left everyone in splits, it was rather a funny act from the skipper.

A perfect outswinger pitched just outside the off-stump line led Nissanka to his doom.
But a recovery phase followed as Avishka Fernando (40, 62b, 5x4) and Kusal Mendis (30, 42b, 3x4) used the freshness of the new ball to add 74 for a rather fluent second wicket stand.
But once the spinners began to operate from both ends the scoring rate dwindled, and the Lankans were forced to nudge the ball around for runs.
Fernando leaned forward to
