We all are aware of captain Rohit Sharma and his antics on the cricket field. He is not just a flamboyant batter, but he has always entertained the fans and the crowd with his antics on the cricket field. From his stump mic comments to his hilarious banters with his players on the field, Sharma is seen in everything. In the second ODI against Sri Lanka, he was part of yet another hilarious antic with Washington Sundar on the field.
In the 33rd over of the Sri Lanka, Washington Sundar went to bowl but pulled up after coming close to the delivery stride. In the very next ball, Sundar repeated his antics yet again. He stopped before delivering the ball and then rubbed his hands on the pitch.
