[Watch] "Screen pe replay dikha na" - Rohit Sharma hilariously sends a message to cameraman who was showing his face on the big screen

Indian captain Rohit Sharma was not too pleased with the broadcast crew showing his face on the big screen as the team waited for a replay. The incident happened during Australia's second innings in the first Test against India at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Saturday.

Ravichandran Ashwin trapped Peter Handscomb in front of his stumps on the second ball of the innings' 18th over. The Indian team appealed for LBW, but umpire Richard Illingworth was unmoved. Rohit Sharma asked for a review.

The cameraman showed Rohit's face on the big screen while the entire team was waiting for the review. Rohit hilariously told him not to focus on his face but to show the replay.

"Abe mujhe kya dikha raha hai, screen pe replay dikha na," he said. (Why are you showing me? Show the replay on the screen.)
