The Indian cricket team is now leading by 2-1 in the 5-match test series after defeating the England cricket team by a huge margin of 434 runs in the third test match of the series which was played at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot.
While it was a complete team effort from the Indian side, there were some special moments such as centuries by Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in the first innings, double century by Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings including a hat-trick of sixers on the bowling of James Anderson, exceptional fielding by Dhruv Jurel and beautiful bowling of Ravindra Jadeja, etc.
However, there were a couple of funny moments as well as in the 97th over of India’s second innings, there was confusion that India has declared as the batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan started walking back to the pavilion. But skipper Rohit Sharma immediately signaled them to go back and ensured that the match continued without any interruption.
The sight of Rohit Sharma shooing away the batters soon become a meme, here are some selected reactions:

Now the third test match will be played in Ranchi from 23 Feb and the visitors will like to win this match at any cost if they want to keep their chances of winning the test series alive.
As per the reports, Jasprit Bumrah may be rested for the fourth test match and there are chances that KL Rahul will be back in the team as well.
Will England be able to bounce back now? What do you think? Let us know your views.
