India vs South Africa: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's DRS Discussion In Second Test Has Internet In Splits For 'Wrong' Language

Rohit Sharma had a hilarious on-field discussion with Rohit Sharma while deciding whether to review a decision during the second day of the 2nd Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

With just one wicket to go and three reviews remaining, the Indian cricket team decided to make use of their resources, although knowing that the result was unlikely to come in their favour. Mohammed Siraj hit South Africa's Nandre Burger high on the right right, on Day 2 of the second Test at Cape Town, but the umpire had little interest in rewarding Team India's appeal. However, realising that India have three DRS calls to spare, Rohit contemplated going for a review, after a brief discussion with teammates, but eventually decided against taking it.

Fans on social media were in splits seeing how Rohit was discussing the decision to take DRS, particularly the language he used.

India eventually dismissed South Africa for 176, with Aiden Markram emerging as the top-scoring batter having registered a century. Chasing a target of 79 runs, India needed just 12 overs to complete the run-chase and draw the series 1-1.

"A great feat. In Centurion, we had to learn from the mistakes we made in that Test. We came back pretty well, especially our bowlers. Even though the conditions were tough for batters, you still go to put the ball in the right areas. Had some plans as to what we wanted to do and the boys got rewarded for it. We applied ourselves, we batted really well to get a 100-run lead, not pleasing to see the last six wickets. We knew that it's going to be a short game, we knew every run matters, to get that first innings lead was very important for us," Rohit said after what was the shortest Test match in history.
