What Rohit Sharma told Chahal while setting the field in 2nd ODI

Rohit Sharma was busy donning the skipper’s hat, making changes to the field, and taking care of bowling changes in the 2nd ODI against the West Indies. And, in the 45th over of the West Indies’ innings, Sharma told Yuzvendra Chahal something that has caught the attention of social media.

Sharma asked Chahal why he was not running well on the field and sent the leg spinner to field at Long off. Washington Sundar was the bowler bowling that over.

“Kya hua tereko. Bhaag kyu nahi raha hai theek se. Chal udhar bhaag,” Sharma was heard telling Chahal in the 3rd ODI. You can see the video of the same below.
