Rohit Sharma was in a good mood and shared a hilarious moment with spinner Washington Sundar in the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on August 4.
Sundar was again the pick of the bowlers as he dismissed Avishka Fernando (40) and Kusal Mendis (30), who were looking dangerous. Sundar’s third scalp came in the form of Charith Asalanka as he finished the spell with figures of 3-30 in 10 overs.
Rohit and Washington were involved in a funny moment that went viral. In the 33rd over of the Sri Lanka’s innings, Sundar stopped twice in his run-up before delivering the second ball of the over. Rohit was frustrated with what was happening. He let it go for the first time but ran towards the bowler when the latter repeated the same mistake. He hilariously threatened Sundar before both of them started laughing.
The hosts managed 240 as Dunith Wellalage (39) and Kamindu Mendis (40) batted well. Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel added one each to their bowling figures.
