On day one of the Test series opener against Sri Lanka at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma was caught imitating the batting stance of South Africa batter Faf du Plessis, in the dressing room. In the viral video, Rohit can be seen shadow batting exactly like Du Plessis during the 43d over of the Indian 1st innings.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma got off to a quick start with the bat on Day 1, but he was eventually dismissed by Lahiru Kumara for 29 runs off 28 deliveries. The pacer bowled a short-pitched delivery and enticed Rohit to play his favourite hook shot.
Rohit attempted to knock it over fine leg for a six but Suranga Lakmal caught him at the boundary line.
