Sarfaraz Khan's Antics Rile Up New Zealand Batter. Here's How Rohit Sharma Reacted

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma had to intervene after Sarfaraz Khan's antics riled up New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell on Day 1 of the third Test match in Mumbai on Friday. During the 32nd over of the New Zealand innings, Mitchell expressed his frustration at Sarfaraz constantly talking from the silly point position and the umpire decided to call the fielder for a conversation. Rohit was quick to step in as he made his point to the umpires and the situation was resolved for the moment.

Off-spinner Washington Sundar stymied New Zealand's progress with two vital strikes as the visitors reached 92/3 at lunch against India. Washington (2/26) added two more dismissals to bring his wicket tally to 13 in the series, maintaining consistent pressure on the Kiwi batters after pacer Akash Deep (1/22) gave India the first breakthrough.

At lunch, New Zealand had their hopes pinned on Will Young for a long haul who batted well to reach 38 not out (3x4s, 1x6s), with Daryl Mitchell (11 not out) at the other end.

Washington's identical strikes to remove skipper Tom Latham (28) and in-form Rachin Ravindra (5) helped India pull things back in control in the second half of the session as New Zealand appeared to be consolidating on a day one wicket, which had something in it for all parties involved.
