Cricket Fans React as Rohit Sharma’s Anger Caught on Stump Mic
During the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane, Indian captain Rohit Sharma lost his temper at debutant bowler Akash Deep. The incident occurred during Australia’s first innings when Akash Deep bowled an extremely wide delivery, triggering an animated reaction from Sharma. The video of the moment has since gone viral on social media.
During the 114th over of Australia’s innings, Akash Deep bowled a wayward delivery far outside the off-stump. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant had to dive to his left to prevent the ball from reaching the boundary. Frustrated by the delivery, Rohit Sharma expressed his displeasure visibly.
In a moment captured by the stump mic, Sharma was heard shouting at Akash Deep, saying, “Abey… Sar mein kuch hai?” (loosely translating to "Do you have anything in your head?"). His reaction, recorded live, quickly circulated online, drawing various reactions from cricket fans. Commentators also shared lighthearted jokes about the incident during the broadcast.
By the end of the third day’s play, India reached 51/4, trailing Australia by 394 runs. KL Rahul (33*) and Rohit Sharma (0*) remained unbeaten at the crease. Earlier, Australia posted a formidable first-innings total of 445 runs.
