Rohit Sharma, Master in Dumb Charades Game? Indian Opener Shows Excellent Gesturing Skills During a Quick Contest in Team Bus (Watch Video)
Rohit Sharma and Partner Dinesh Karthik showed great understanding while playing dumb charades. The Indian Opening-batsman gave his fans a glimpse of his excellent gesturing skills that helped Karthik guess the correct name during a quick game while travelling with the Indian players in the Team bus.
Indian cricket team has been in terrific form in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Led by Virat Kohli, India are yet to lose a game in CWC19 and have beaten every opponent – barring New Zealand – coming their way so far in the competition. It has been a collective effort from the men in blue that has seen comfortably placed in the fourth position in the points table with nine points from five games. But one player that has stood out from the rest has been Rohit Sharma. The opening batsman is India’s highest run-scorer in CWC 2019 with already two centuries and a half century to his name. He led India to victories over South Africa and Pakistan with two match-winning centuries. But Rohit also showed the fans how his brilliance and talent is not just limited to the cricket field.

The right-handed opening batsman on Sunday shared a short video clip on his official Instagram handle in which the Indian team can be seen playing dumb charades (a gesturing game) while travelling in the team bus. The players were probably returning to the team hotel after beating Afghanistan by 11 runs at Southampton or possibly travelling to Manchester where they next play West Indies on June 27 (Thursday).
Watch Rohit Sharma And Dinesh Karthik Successfully Decode the Secret Name:
In the video, Rohit can be seen gesturing to his partner Dinesh Karthik with signs about the former Indian fielding consultant Mike Young. Rohit stars by picking up a water bottle as if he is lifting the World Cup and gestures towards MS Dhoni, which prompts Karthik to say that Dhoni won the World Cup in 2011. Rohit then gestures him to mention the coaches that were part of the Indian cricket team in 2011 and finally both Rohit and Dinesh are successful in winning the contest by guessing the correct name.
It was a fun game and showed another talent of the Indian opening batsmen much like he steals run in the cricket field through eye gestures with fellow opener Shikhar Dhawan. The left-right combination has been very successful for team India over the years. Both Rohit and Shikhar have also been in good form at the World Cup but the latter was ruled out of the tournament with a thumb fracture.
Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik is yet to feature for the men in blue in the 2019 Cricket World Cup but seems to have been enjoying his time with the Indian team and his camaraderie with Rohit Sharma.
