LOCAL Bowler Trying to Break Rohit Sharma's Leg? Funny Clip Goes Viral Ahead of IND's CT 25 Opener vs BAN | WATCH VIDEO

It is no secret that India captain Rohit Sharma is not just loved for his skills on the field, but he also draws attention with his humour. And fans got another glimpse of it recently. In a clip that is going viral on social space, Rohit is speaking to a local bowler, named Awais Khan, in Dubai. After facing him in the nets, Rohit asked Awais if he was trying to break his leg. Rohit hilariously enquired because the local cricketer was bowling inswinging yorkers consistently.

‘Pair todne ki kosish kar rahe thhey’

“Class bowler. Aap humare joota… pair todne ki kosish kar rahe the inswinging yorker maar ke. Badiya bhai badiya. Aap log humko yaha help kar rahe ho, bada acha laga, thank you," Rohit said.

Rohit has not been in top form recently and has been facing the heat for it. He did get a century in the second ODI versus England at Cuttack and would be hoping to contribute for Team India at the top in the upcoming mega event. With speculations rife over his future, he knows it well that everything depends on how he fares in the Champions Trophy 2025.
