Rohit Sharma, the Indian star batsman, was not a part of the Indian squad for the Australian tour as he got injured during the IPL 2020 which his team Mumbai Indians won under his leadership for the fifth time. He got rehabilitated at the National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru, and joined the Indian squad for the third test match which was played at Sydney. There is no denying the fact that with him in the team, the Indian batting has strengthened a lot.
However, Hitman has been making headlines since the start of the fourth test match which is being played at Gabba, Brisbane. Earlier during the first innings of Australia, Rohit Sharma had to play the role of a bowler in order to complete Navdeep Saini’s over who left the ground due to injury. In Brisbane, Rohit Sharma bowled a medium pacer, however earlier he used to bowl off-breaks and he also has a hat-trick to his name in the IPL while playing for Deccan Chargers (does not exist).
How we can forget to mention that Prithvi Shaw, the substitute fielder, hit Rohit Sharma with the ball as the former was trying to throw the ball towards the non-striker’s end and Rohit came in between Shaw and the non-striker end. Though the Indian batsman didn’t say a word, he did give a look to Prithvi Shaw and now Rohit Sharma has turned into an umpire.
The Aussie opener David Warner was lbw out on the bowling of Washington Sundar but the Australian team took a DRS (Decision Review System) which got wasted as Warner was out.

As the umpire raised his hand for declaring Warner out, Rohit Sharma also joined him and acted as an umpire.

Earlier former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina imitated umpire Billy Bowden in India vs Pakistan T20 match because of which many are saying that Rohit Sharma does a Suresh Raina.
