Indian National Cricket team vice-captain Rohit Sharma tried his hands at the infamous floss dance at the hotel lobby following their 34-run loss in the first ODI against Australia at Sydney.

Chasing a massive target of 289 runs, India lost their first three wickets within four runs. Since then, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni slowly stitched a partnership because another wicket at that point would have ended India’s little chances. However, Rohit slowly started to open up and play his shots while Dhoni struggled. Although Dhoni departed soon reaching his half-century as India kept on losing wickets at regular intervals.

Rohit Sharma, on the other end, continued to play his shots as he brought his 22nd ODI hundred. But his valiant efforts with the bat couldn’t save India from losing. However, after the loss, India will try to regroup and come back strong in the second game. And they started with having some fun at the hotel lobby.
