Rohit mimicked Harbhajan s action while bowling the final ball before tea
Rohit bowled just two overs and gave away seven runs
Joe Root scored a double hundred as England made Indian bowlers toil on the second day of the first Test in Chennai. Watching his mainstream bowlers struggle against England s batsmen and to give them some respite, India skipper Virat Kohli handed the ball to Rohit Sharma just before tea and soon it became a talking point on the internet. Rohit, who hardly bowls, mimicked veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh s action which brought a smile on Indian fans face. Rohit bowled just two overs and gave away seven runs.

NEW DELHI: After an unforgettable and one for the ages Test series win vs Australia, the Indian cricket team is all ready to start their new assignment - a four Test home series against the Joe Root-led England.
But resting on past laurels is not what any champion team does and the Indian team, who are currently leading the points table of the World Test Championship know that all too well.
Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer echoed the same sentiment in an interview with TimesofIndia.com. India will be pumped up. It s a new series. India have to forget what happened in Australia, they need to start afresh against England, Jaffer told Timesofindia.com in an exclusive interview.

New Delhi : The COVID-19 pandemic has done what even the Second World War could not: bring to a halt the Ranji Trophy’s 87-year-old non-stop journey.
And eminent players of the past, many of whom had used the country’s premier domestic tournament as a platform to announce their arrival, sympathised with the current lot of cricketers, but also agreed with the BCCI’s unprecedented decision to not conduct the tournament for the first time since its inception in 1934-35.
“I am sympathetic to what players might be feeling but I think whatever decision BCCI has taken is in the best interest of everyone,” former India keeper Chandrakant Pandit, one of the country’s finest domestic coaches, told PTI on Sunday.

Rabada became the 3rd-fastest South African to reach 200 Test wickets
Rabada is also the fourth-youngest bowler ever to reach the milestone
Former Indian Test batsman Wasim Jaffer heaped praise on South Africa s Kagiso Rabada after the fast bowler became the third-fastest South African bowler to reach 200 Test wickets. Rabada not only became the eighth South African to scalp 200 Test wickets but also the fourth-youngest bowler ever to reach the milestone in the longest format of the game. At the moment, Rabada has the best strike rate among bowlers with 200-plus Test wickets.
Jaffer said looking at Rabada s age (25) it s scary to think what the fast bowler can achieve in the years ahead.
