Rohit Sharma’s fun moment with Ishan Kishan caught on camera
Rohit Sharma jokingly tried to hit Ishan Kishan during the drinks break in the first session of the second day of the fourth Test between India and Australia.

Fans watching the game, however, saw something that caught their eye. Rohit Sharma trying to hit Ishan Kishan. Even if in jest.

The incident took place during the water bowl when Ishan ran onto the ground with refreshments and Rohit discussed strategy with Ravindra Jadeja. When play was about to resume, Rohit tried to hand the water bottle back to Ishan, which was dropped by the wicketkeeper, prompting the Indian skipper to tap ‘Friendly’.

For much of the game, Usman Khawaja remained unbeaten on 150 and Cameron Green came close to a century to help Australia post a big score at lunch.
The tourists were 347-4 at lunch, having added 92 to their overnight total on a pitch still favoring the batsmen at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
Khawaja was once again in trouble after starting the day on 104, while his night partner Green, who brought up his half-century with one run in the first over, reached 95 at the break.
The pair – wearing black armbands following the death of skipper Pat Cummins’ mother – extended their unbeaten partnership to 177.
Green and the left-handed Khawaja both found occasional boundaries to take the total past 300, a low-scoring series in which India lead 2–1.
Green, who is 1.98 meters (6 feet and 6 inches) tall, changed gears in the second half of the morning session as he hit Umesh Yadav for three fours in an over to get closer to his century.
India’s pacers, Yadav in particular, looked uninspired with their line and length, while the usually clever spinners lacked bite.
Pacer Mohammed Shami toiled hard to add to his tally of two wickets from day one but India went wicketless in the first session.
Khawaja, who hit his maiden Indian Test century on Day 1 and Day 14, has been key to Australia’s dominance after being elected to open the batting in the final match of the series.
The hosts need a win to clinch the four-match series and book a place in the final of the World Test Championship at The Oval in June.
