Watch: Rohit Sharma shocked when referee gave up, took DRS in a special way on social media

An interesting spectacle was seen in the last over of the first day (17 February) of the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). Here the umpire ruled out Rohit Sharma on a ball from Australian spinner Nathan Lyon. Following this, being unhappy with the referee’s decision, the video of Rohit’s way of taking DRS has now gone viral on social media.

Fans liked Rohit Sharma’s style of taking DRS. During this, commentators were also seen calling this style of Rohit special. In fact, on the first day of the match, when the Australian team made 263 runs, after that the Indian starting pair got off to a steady start. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul added 19 runs without losing wickets in the first 8 overs of the Indian innings without giving Australia any chance.

Nathan Lion was making the last over of the match. KL Rahul scored a run on his first ball, the second ball was a point and Rohit Sharma missed the third ball and the ball hit the bag and went into the hands of Marnus Labushen. Here there was a strong appeal and the referee called Rohit out. Rohit was sure that the ball had not touched the bat, so he was surprised to see the referee’s decision and immediately pointed to DRS. This DRS style of his was much liked by the fans.

In DRS it was clear that the ball has not caught the edge of the bat and it has not been BPN either. In such a situation, the third umpire gave Rohit a no out. After this was over, the first day’s game was also over and India’s starting pair came back undefeated after scoring 21 runs.
