In the tenth over of India's innings, Rohit Sharma took the attack to Bangladesh offspinner Mosaddek Hussain, hitting him for sixes off his first three deliveries. "First three balls, three sixes. What was going on in your head then? Were you thinking of going for six sixes?" Chahal asks Rohit in the interview.
"I was trying to go for the six sixes. But when I missed the fourth ball, I thought I'd take singles off the last two," Rohit replies.
"It was quite humid out there. How do you get this much power? Hitting sixes, continuously running between the wickets..." Chahal asks. "You don't need muscles to hit sixes," Rohit starts off when Chahal interrupts him saying "So I can hit them too?"
"Yeah of course you can, but you have good muscles," Rohit says before asking him to flaunt them. The spinner obliges, flexing his right arm to show off his biceps.
At the end of the interview, Chahal teases that "The next time 'Rohita' Sharma comes on 'Chahal TV', I hope he comes after scoring a century and that he plays a 100 more matches," to which Rohit sharply responds "My hundreds will keep coming, but when will you take a 5-wicket haul?"
The interview left fans in splits, with one fan tweeting "5 wickets kab loge? Ro trolling chahal in hitmans style."
India comfortably beat Bangladesh by eight wickets in the second T20I to level the series at 1-1. The series decider will be played on Sunday in Nagpur.
