During the fifth and final Test match between India and England at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a sensational delivery to dismiss English batter Ollie Pope, however, the stump mic recorded a voice from the Indian side claiming the batter will step out of the crease moments before the wicket. Recently, India skipper Rohit Sharma revealed who predicted the wicket among youngsters Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel.
Earlier it was reported that Indian wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel successfully predicted the dismissal of English batter Ollie Pope. Ahead of Kuldeep's delivery, the 23-year-old was heard saying, "Yeh badhega aage, badhega aage (He will step out, step out)."
However, Rohit Sharma cleared the air on the high-IQ play by the Indian side, revealing the cricketer who perfectly predicted the dismissal. In a viral video on social media, the Indian skipper talked about the 4-1 win against England in the five-match Test series.
Rohit also revealed the brain behind Ollie Pope's planned dismissal and said, "By the way, that stumping was brilliant. Sarfaraz Khan was the one who predicted that. I had stationed him a bit further up, in short leg, when he said, ‘Now, he’ll leave the crease. Be ready for a stumping.’ Next ball…. brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with these boys. Hopefully, in the future, we’ll play a lot more."
