What Rohit Sharma actually said on live TV — And where he slipped up

Rohit Sharma explained that he was bowling to Steve Smith when the Australian batter stepped forward and played the delivery with his pads. After Rohit appealed to the umpire, Smith questioned why he was appealing.

Recalling the moment, the Hitman said, “Hum Australia mein khel rahe the, jahan pe main ball daal raha tha aur Steve Smith batting kar rahe the. Unhone aage se jaake pad laga diya ball pe. Kyunki main umpire ko appeal kar raha tha, toh woh umpire ko bol raha tha, ‘Ye kya appeal kar raha hai ye?’ Toh main usko thoda sa bamboo de raha tha.”

Rohit then recalled how Shikhar Dhawan responded when the situation became more competitive. He said, “Lekin jahan pe aisa situation aata hai na, jahan pe thodi si ladai ho aur aapko ek doosre ki zarurat ho, wahan pe ye kabhi peeche nahi hatta tha.” Rohit was referring to Dhawan’s willingness to stand up for his teammates during tense moments against the opposition.

Rohit’s comments have brought the old incident back into the spotlight, while a separate video shows Kohli’s confrontation with Smith during the Adelaide Test. While, the original video of the incident will be embedded alongside Rohit’s recollection, allowing fans to watch the moment and compare it with what Rohit said on television.
