Even though Rohit Sharma wasn’t on the field for Day 3 of the Dharamshala Test due to a stiff back, he managed to prevent Sarfaraz Khan from getting injured. Jasprit Bumrah took charge as captain in Rohit’s absence, guiding India to a dominant position as England struggled against Ravichandran Ashwin.
Rohit Sharma’s Advice Saved Sarfaraz Khan’s Life In Dharamsala Test
As the match neared its end with England losing their eighth wicket, Shoaib Bashir hit a short ball towards Sarfaraz Khan, who was fielding at short-leg. Reacting quickly, Sarfaraz ducked to avoid being hit by the ball, which struck him on the head. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet and escaped serious injury.

How did Rohit help Sarfaraz?
During the fourth Test match between India and England, a moment captured by the stump microphone revealed Rohit Sharma, who is known for his proactive communication on the field, advising Sarfaraz Khan, who was fielding at silly point, to wear a helmet. Addressing Sarfaraz before an over, Rohit was heard saying, “Oye bhai, hero nahi banne ka, helmet pehen le,”
Rohit’s instruction emphasized the importance of safety, urging Sarfaraz to prioritize protection over bravado. This incident underscored Rohit’s leadership qualities and his concern for the well-being of his teammates on the field.
As the latest incident happened, the memories of the previous Test resurfaced, where Rohit had cautioned Sarfaraz to prioritize safety and wear a helmet while fielding close to the bat.
