Watch | Rohit Sharma does a Harbhajan Singh in Chennai. Fans can’t keep calm

Indian skipper Virat Kohli handed the ball to Rohit Sharma just before Tea on Day 2 of the opening Test between India and England in Chennai. Introduced in the bowling attack, Sharma, who rarely bowls, imitated off-spinner Harbhajan Singh’s action, making fans go wild.

Sharma was given an opportunity to bowl just two overs and he gave away seven runs as Kohli gave relief to the mainstream bowlers who toiled against England.

“So how’s the test going?” “Rohit Sharma is bowling” “Oh got it.” #INDvsENG,” former India opener Wasim Jaffer reacted to Sharma’s bowling.

Mumbai Indians, the franchise led by their Captain Rohit Sharma to five IPL titles, tweeted about the same on their Twitter handle, “@ImRo45 does a @harbhajan_singh on the last ball before.”

Recently, during the Brisbane Test against Australia, Rohit bowled a medium pace delivery to complete Navdeep Saini’s over.

Root maintained his relentless form and before getting out in the final session, he became the first-ever batsman to score a double hundred in his 100th Test.

He confronted 377 balls in his marathon innings prior to left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem who trapped him in front of the stumps, bringing his 218-run knock to an end and sending him back to pavilion.
