In a light-hearted moment during the first Test against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, September 22, Indian captain Rohit Sharma exhibited a touch of superstition that caught the attention of fans and commentators alike. The 37-year-old humorously switched the bails to the striker’s end, all while laughing and casting his ‘spell’—a quirky move reminiscent of former captain Virat Kohli, who often employs similar tactics when wickets are hard to come by.
While it remains unclear whether this amusing act occurred during the first or second innings of Bangladesh’s batting, it certainly added a layer of entertainment to the match. Rohit, known for his leadership and batting prowess, found himself on the sidelines in terms of scoring, managing only 6 runs in the first innings and 5 in the second.
