[Saba Sports News] Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is well-known for his witty remarks, both during matches and in press conferences, which often capture the attention of fans worldwide.
In a recent incident during the third Test against England, he was captured urging his teammates to speed up retrieving the ball, expressing concern over falling behind on overs and hinting at a potential penalty for slow over-rate without specifying the consequences, sparking curiosity among fans and players. This moment was shared on social media, quickly gaining popularity.

In India’s follow-up innings, despite an early loss of Rohit Sharma for 19 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill formed a strong 155-run partnership.
