Indian captain Rohit Sharma and number three batter Shubman Gill shared a hilarious moment as they took South Africa in the second Test. Playing at Newlands in Cape Town, Team India ran through the Proteas, courtesy of Mohammed Siraj's six-wicket haul, and bundled the hosts at 55. Then, with the bat, the Men in Blue batted with confidence despite losing early wickets.

As Sharma and Gill batted together, the Indian captain talked to his young teammate about looking out for Kagiso Rabada as no other bowler is that lethal to face. Rohit Sharma is heard saying in a clip that has gone viral on social media, "Yeh ek bowler hi hai (Kagiso Rabada) baaki koi hai nahi," which translates to "he is the only good bowler, no one else".

After playing a few high-quality shots, Sharma departed at a score of 39 in 50 balls with seven fours after the duo posted a 55-run stand. Soon Gill also got out after scoring 36 in 55 balls with five boundaries. Post the Sharma-Gill partnership, India found itself in trouble as Shreyas Iyer also quickly got after a two-ball duck. But Virat Kohli and KL Rahul carried the team out of this precarious position as the score was 111-4 at tea.
