India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma wasn't happy with the umpire in the second ODI against England National Cricket Team. The two teams are locking horns with each other at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, Odisha.
Rohit Sharma, who took the strike in the second innings, had a bit shaky start to his innings. The batter, who has been out of form, looked anxious and this was quite evident when he expressed his frustration over the on-field umpire on the second ball of the over.
Saqib Mahmood bowled a pretty wide delivery. It was also certain that the umpire would term it wide, but to the surprise, it wasn't given as Rohit Sharma attempted to play the cut but missed. As the umpire didn't give it wide, the India skipper expressed his frustration and went "huh" with a smile in shock.

Rohit Sharma started positively in his innings, slams England bowlers for six and fours to take India off to a fiery start
Rohit Sharma started positively in his innings after being shaky for the first few balls. The batter showed great intent and took his team off to a flying start with the bat. He attacked England bowlers, hitting sixes and boundaries and entertaining the crowd.
Rohit Sharma would be hoping to carry on and register a big score to gain some confidence ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The India National Cricket Team skipper has been going through the lean patch which has seen his place in the team getting questioned as well.
In the first ODI as well, Rohit Sharma struggled to get going. He managed just 2 runs as he didn't get his timing right while playing the flick. His failure also triggered a debate about his place in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with few reports suggesting that he might opt out.
