Team India were at their ruthless best as the hosts chased down a target of 184 to beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. It was a bone-chilling evening in Dharamsala, with the temperature fluctuating around 4 to 8 degree Celsius on Saturday. There were a few morning and afternoon showers as well. India captain Rohit Sharma did not have a good outing with the bat, but surely enjoyed the batting masterclass put on by the middle-order batters.
Rohit was spotted enjoying a cup of coffee in the dressing room during India’s run chase. He then decided to have a banter with the cameraman after realising that the camera was on him.
The 34-year-old jokingly offered the coffee to the cameraperson before also having a laugh about it.
A video of the same moment was uploaded by BCCI on their official Instagram handle.
Chasing a total of 184, India were rocked by the early wickets of Rohit and Ishan Kishan.
However, Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson steadied India’s ship before the former put on a whirlwind partnership with Ravindra Jadeja to take India home with 17 balls to spare.
Iyer (74 off 44) and Samson (39 off 25) put an 84-run stand before Jadeja landed the final nail in the coffin with a counter-attacking 45 off 18 balls.
