Rohit Sharma’s “Bhaag kyu nahi raha” rebuke to India player during 2nd ODI goes viral. Watch
Rohit Sharma the batter faced a rare disappointment yet Rohit Sharma the captain was at his best in the second ODI against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Rohit’s attacking field placements, his proactive bowling changes, particularly the move to bring back pacers Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur when West Indies stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran was looking to cut loose against the spinners, paid rich dividends for India in the second ODI, which they won by 44 runs to seal the three-match series 2-0. However, there was one more side of Rohit’s captaincy, which isn’t frequently seen, that was noticeable on the field during the second match. Rohit didn’t seem too pleased with Yuzvendra Chahal when Washington Sundar was on his mark to start the 45th over of West Indies’ chase.
A video of Rohit showing his displeasure began doing the rounds via social media towards the end of the match. In the video, Rohit was heard saying: “Ek kaam kar, peeche jaa… Kya hua tereko bhaag kyu nahi raha theek se?” (Go backwards… What happened to you, why aren’t you running properly?).

Rohit, however, was mighty pleased with India’s series win.
