Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is well known for his one-liners on the field and on multiple occasions, his comments have gone viral after they were caught on the stump mic. A similar incident happened on Day 1 of the fifth Test match against England in Dharamsala on Tuesday as his comment left fans in splits. As Jonny Bairstow came out to bat during England’s first innings, Rohit was having a conversation with a teammate about England batters not preferring off-side shots. In true Rohit fashion, the India skipper quipped - ”Isko Toh Kuch Bhi Daal (Bowl whatever you want to him)”. The remark was captured on the stump mic and the video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin shared nine wickets between them as India bowled out England for 218 on day one of the fifth Test on Thursday.

England collapsed from 175-3 after Zak Crawley‘s 79 and survived just 57.4 overs, the visitors having elected to bat first in their bid for a consolation win at the picturesque Dharamsala stadium.
Off-spinner Ashwin, in his landmark 100th Test, ended a brief resistance by Ben Foakes when he got the wicketkeeper-batsman out for 24 after tea and wrapped up the innings in the same over. Yadav stood out with his left-arm wrist spin as he went past 50 Test wickets with figures of 5-72.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, lost the opening Test but hit back to take an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
