India captain Rohit Sharma uploaded a picture of him with the youngsters of the team. But the caption he wrote for the post captured the attention of the fans.
During Day 2 of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, Sharma used cuss words to scold teammates because of their sluggish fielding. To ensure they stand alert during fielding, Sharma used a few dirty words, “Koi bhi garden mein ghumega to m** c*** d****.“
But after the conclusion of the fifth Test, Sharma uploaded a picture in which he could be seen standing alongside all the youngsters of the team- Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Sarfaraz Khan. Sharma captioned the post with: “Garden mein ghoomne wale bande. (The guys who roam around the garden).
The post became an instant hit among the fans and cricketers as well. Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh simply dropped a laughing emoticon, while Suryakumar Yadav wrote, “Gill and jaiswal definitely.”

Rahul Dravid praises Rohit Sharma after India’s series win
Rohit Sharma led a troop of youngsters in the series against a team that is now breathing Bazball. A team without Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Mohammed Shami looked weak, but only on paper.
The youngsters were the ones who displayed what they were capable of doing in the toughest format of cricket. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored two double centuries and took away the Player of the Series award.
Sarfaraz Khan slammed fifties in each inning of his debut Test match and smashed another one in the last Test. Dhruv Jurel’s work behind the stumps was impressive, but he displayed his batting skills by scoring 90 in the fourth Test on a tough pitch. Shubman Gill has been with the team for a while and he, too, scored two centuries.
After the series, India head coach Rahul Dravid praised Sharma for his captaincy as well as his batting.
It has been a pleasure watching him bat since I saw him as an 18-year-old. It is always pleasing to the eye. But I think he has added a lot of steel and grit to that. Sometimes, we forget that a little bit. Look at his numbers.Dravid said in a chat on JioCinema
He was shy enough not to mention the critical situation where he won the toss in Rajkot, and we were 3 down in the first hour. You need somebody to step up and get a hundred, and the captain does that for you.He added
In the Tests, Sharma scored 24, 39, 14, 13, 131, 19, 2, 55, and 103 runs. He collected 400 runs from those matches.
