IND vs WI Watch-Rohit Sharma Left Confused As World War 3 Countdown Interrupts Press Conference.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma was left baffled as a bizarre siren interrupted his press conference ahead of the first match of the three-T20I series which begins on February 16, 2022, in the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

India already beat the West Indies 3-0 in the one-day international series which was played in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, which was Rohit’s first ODI series as full-time India captain in the limited-overs format. The upcoming three T20Is will be his second series as full-time captain as he had previously led India to a 3-0 series win over New Zealand earlier this year.

“Third World War Ka Countdown Aa Gaya”- Rohit Sharma Stunned As An Announcement Interrupts The Presser

The three-match T20I series at Kolkata will be part of the Indian team’s preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Rohit Sharma was facing questions from the journalists in a press conference which was held via zoom when something bizarre brought the proceedings to a halt.

While Rohit Sharma was talking about something in the upcoming match, an announcement for World War 3 began, baffling the Indian captain. As some media personnel forgot to turn off their microphone, midway through Rohit’s speech, he was interrupted by a sudden announcement.

While the Indian skipper was speaking about the ground conditions of the match, he stopped suddenly after a voice announcement of, “Third World War ka countdown aa gaya (Countdown for the third World War is on).”

Rohit was taken aback for some seconds, after hearing out the announcement. From his look, one could determine how muddled Rohit felt. He resumed after the brief announcement ended.

Here is the video:

Rohit also talked about Virat Kohli’s poor form and said that if the media stops highlighting this issue and stays quiet for a while, everything will become alright as he has faith in the former captain. He claimed that the latter has spent so much time in international cricket that he knows how to handle pressure situations.
