This incident happened during the second Test match played against England in Visakhapatnam in February 2024. Rohit Sharma seemed very disappointed with his team players at that time and he was heard saying this in the stump mic. However, now Rohit Sharma has made a big disclosure about this. Rohit Sharma told on JioHotstar that, ‘It was Visakhapatnam and at the end of the over I saw the players walking like they were in the garden. No one was running and all those players were seen taking the match lightly. At that time the match was in a very difficult situation and it was very important for us to win this match. I had told all the players this in the morning itself that we have to perform better and win the match.
I watched two to three overs and then understood that the match cannot go on like this and neither can we play cricket like this. To bring the match in our favour, the players will have to play good cricket. At that time, the England team had also made a partnership and we needed wickets. I was very angry that all the players were busy with themselves and were not serious about the match and that is why I said this.
