During the series' third Test match played between India and England today (February 15), Indian skipper Rohit Sharma lost his calm in the dressing room after seeing Sarfaraz Khan's run out at the non-striker’s end on Day 1.
Ravindra Jadeja was batting on 99 when he hit the ball towards mid-on, calling for a quick single. While Sarfaraz who was set to take that quick run had almost reached the middle of the pitch when Jadeja backed out of the run. Sarfaraz had no chance of going back to his crease and was run out by Mark Wood’s direct hit from mid-on.
Meanwhile, Rohit in reaction to the run out threw his cap in frustration, a video of this is also going viral on social media.
