India captain Rohit Sharma shouted at Sarfaraz Khan, instructing him to wear a helmet as the youngster was fielding close to the batter. This happened on Day 3 of the fourth Test between India and England at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi on Sunday (February 25).

The video of the incident was heavily shared on social media, with many enjoying the way the captain instructed his teammate. Some even said that Sharma is literally taking care of Sarfaraz after his father told the Indian captain to do so. Later, someone handed the helmet to the 26-year-old and he put it on his head.

Rohit Sharma takes DRS while lying on the ground

Several antics of Rohit Sharma during the Test series against England went viral. His witty one-liners on the stump mic, his shouting at teammates over their errors, his shooing away the players after telling them he had not declared the innings, or his reactions to certain moments during the game- such moments caught the attention of the fans.

During the third Test in Rajkot, Sharma took DRS while lying flat on the ground. This happened in the 35th over of England’s innings.

After Ravichandran Ashwin struck Ben Stokes for lbw, India took DRS after the appeal was turned down. Sharma was lying flat on the ground after trying to catch the ball. While he was in this position, he did not bother to get up and signaled for the DRS.

India, meanwhile, won the series 3-1. They defeated the visitors in the fourth Test by five wickets.
