‘Soye hai sab log’: Rohit Sharma expresses frustration during 3rd day of IND vs BAN 1st Test

Rohit Sharma, known for his calm and supportive captaincy, had a rare moment of frustration during the first Test against Bangladesh at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. The Indian skipper, who usually guides his teammates with a calm demeanor, was caught on camera shouting, “Oye, soye hue hai sab log” (Everybody is sleeping) at one of his fielders. The clip quickly went viral, showcasing Rohit’s intensity on the field.

While Rohit’s leadership style is typically different from Virat Kohli’s fiery approach, this moment highlighted his commitment to keeping his team focused. It’s unclear who the comment was directed at, but it certainly showed that Rohit, even in his calmness, demands full attention and energy from his team.

Rohit’s struggles in this Test series continued, as he managed scores of just six and five in his two innings, marking the fourth time he has failed to reach double digits in both innings of a Test match. Despite these setbacks, his overall record against Bangladesh remains strong in other formats, with 1,307 runs in 34 matches at an average of 40.84.

In the ongoing 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship, Rohit has accumulated 711 runs at an average of 41.82, including three centuries and three fifties, proving that his form remains solid despite challenges in this particular Test series.
