Spat with a former South Africa pacer
The Mumbai-born player had a spat with Dale Steyn in his first overseas tour. In the second and last Test against the hosts, Rohit Sharma came out to bat with Steyn on fire. The right-arm pacer shouted at Sharma which reads “You just won’t score the runs”.
Sharma replied saying that “We’ll see how you go when you come to India”, as paraphrased by on-air commentator Pommie Mbangwa. In reply, Steyn said “we are in Durban now” and added “Rohit, you’ve played a handful of Test matches and you’ve done nothing in your career.” Rohit was dismissed by the same bowler and the team went onto lose the game and the series.
