Watch: “Your job is batting…”- Rohit Sharma reveals heated incident with Steve Smith
Rohit Sharma, on request of Wriddiman Saha, has looked back at the heated incident he had with Steve Smith during the 2014-15 season of the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia down under.
Rohit Sharma, who has already retired from Test cricket and T20 cricket, has focused solely on ODI cricket. After the conclusion of the three-match ODI series against South Africa at home, he has been spending time with his family, in addition to hitting the gym to maintain his full fitness for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
A video has gone viral where the former India wicket-keeper batter, Wriddhiman Saha, asked Rohit to recall the heated altercation with Steve Smith during the 2014/15 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). Rohit hilariously narrated the entire story.

“Steve Smith came straight and padded the ball I bowled. So, I appealed to the umpire. And then he started to ask the umpire. So, I said, “Why are you asking the umpire, bro? You should only bat. Let the umpire do its job, and let us do our job. Then, there was a bit of a heated moment when everyone started to come.” Rohit expressed in the video.

Rohit also took a dig at Cheteshwar Pujara while addressing the story. He reckoned that during that moment, Pujara also came into the discussion and didn’t utter a single word before going back in the same relaxed manner in which he came.

“It got a little bit heated. David Warner came close with Virat following him. Even Cheteshwar Pujara also came to join the huddle, who didn’t say anything and just came like this (shows the action) and went back like this (shows the action again). So that was the story.” The Nagpur-born shed light.
Rohit, who was under pressure to deliver with the bat, nailed a fine half-century in Adelaide and an unbeaten century in Sydney during India’s previous ODI series against Australia down under. Post that, he clubbed two half-centuries against the Proteas. His next appearance for India will be against New Zealand at home at the start of the next year.
