Rohit Sharma’s Response On Swearing During T20I Match Against Bangladesh

During a T20I match between India and Bangladesh in 2019, stand-in captain Sharma was caught swearing on camera. The incident happened in the 13th. Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant successfully stumped out Soumya Sarkar off Yuzvendra Chahal’s delivery. The on-field umpire referred the decision to 3rd umpire. Due to a technical glitch, the giant screen showed ‘Not Out’ instead of ‘Out’. Sharma lost his cool and was caught on camera using cuss words. Soon, the giant screen changed its decision to out.

When Sharma was questioned about his rage and anger during the moment, he jokingly said that next time he will check where the camera is. “I’m quite an emotional guy on the field. Some of the decisions in the previous and some of the on-field moments today, we were a bit sloppy. Ultimately the aim is to get the job done, and sometimes we display a lot of emotions. Next time I’ll check where the camera is”, he said.
