The invention of stump mics has contributed to cricketing technological advancements and captured some humorous moments on the field. This was evident in the first Test between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru, where Rohit Sharma delivered another round of hilarious stump mic classics.

‌India faced a heavy eight-wicket loss to New Zealand in the first Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. It was a mixed outing for the team, as they were bowled out for just 46 runs in their first innings but managed to make a strong comeback, pushing the match into the fourth innings despite a deficit of over 350 runs. Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant were pivotal in this recovery, with Sarfaraz scoring an impressive 150 runs. Rishabh Pant fell just short of a century, finishing with a vibrant 99. However, after a promising partnership that took India to 408-3, the team collapsed and was ultimately all out for 462.

 

Amid the competition of the Test match, Rohit Sharma's witty banter once again stole the spotlight, showcasing his knack for lightening the mood on the field. One particularly memorable moment occurred when he was overheard by the stump mic telling Ravichandran Ashwin, “Lefty ko out karna hai yaar mereko. Zyada hero ban raha hai wo,” (I want to dismiss the left-handed batter; he’s trying to act too smart.)

 

The Indian skipper is known for delivering hilarious stump mic moments that resonate with fans and players alike. His ability to blend humour with the pressures of international cricket adds a unique charm to the game. In the post-match presentation at Bengaluru, Sharma emphasized, “We don’t change our mindset based on one game or one series.” This statement reflects his commitment to maintaining a fearless approach, regardless of the challenges he encounters.

Classic Rohit!
