On Day 4 of the second Test match at Visakhapatnam, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma was getting agitated about screaming at his players way too much, causing him trouble in his throat. Despite that, the 36-year-old managed to lead the Indian cricket team to a 106-run victory in the second Test against England to level the series at 1-1.
The incident happened during the later stages of an enthralling first session of play on Day 4, which saw England score more than 120 runs and India pick up five top-order wickets. When Axar Patel was in the midst of a good spell of bowling, Rohit Sharma was letting his frustrations known on the live broadcast with his teammates about speaking loudly to them consistently, which might have been fun for the fans to hear on the outside, but not for his teammates in the field.

“Mera gale ka watt lag gaya hai chilla chilla ke tum sab ko (My throat is not doing me any favours after screaming to you guys so much),” said Rohit Sharma on JioCinema, during the live broadcast from Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium.
Notably, India was defending the 399-run target for England to chase down on Day 4 of the second Test match, which they did successfully by bowling them out for 292 runs. The experienced duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up three wickets each for the Indian cricket team to secure them an important win in the very intriguing five-match Test series.
The third Test between India and England is set to begin on February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
Here is how Rohit Sharma let out his frustration with his teammates:
