Bhubaneswar: India captain Rohit Sharma engaged in banter with Sports Star cameraman, Prasanna Pradhan, a native of Shankarpur in Choudwar of Odisha’s Cuttack district, during the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka on Saturday at HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. And the video has gone viral.
This was one moment that stood out for the cricket fans as Rohit was not able to do much with his bat and got dismissed for just one run in the very first over despite India dominating the series with two wins.
In the video shared by BCCI, Rohit can be seen having a cup of coffee to beat the bone-chilling evening at the hill station while watching the batting masterclass put on by the middle-order from the dressing room. On catching a glimpse of himself on the big screen that’s set in the stadium, he stared directly into the camera and offered his beverage to the man behind the lens with all seriousness before bursting into laughter.
