IND vs ENG Third Test: Rohit Sharma shooing away Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan over their ‘statement’ confusion makes for funny memes.
India’s historic 434-run victory over England in the Rajkot Test not only marked a milestone in the team’s 577-test history but also painted a vibrant picture of success. The match was a canvas of outstanding performances, from young talents and debutants who made a grand entrance to an all-rounder who displayed his undeniable prowess. It was a sight that left cricket fans beaming with pride. However, in the midst of the triumph, there were moments that added a touch of humor and drama.
During the 97th over of India’s second innings, confusion arose as players in the dressing room prepared to bowl, only to be shocked to see Sarfaraz and Jaiswal walking back to bat. This led to the England openers rushing back onto the field, under the assumption that India had declared. In a comical turn of events, Rohit Sharma, in characteristic style of his, chased the batsmen back to the crease, ensuring that the game continued.
Wait, didn’t it seem like employees leave on the dot when the boss insists they stay a little longer? Indian cricket fans found the scenario very relatable, quickly turning it into a meme.

Meanwhile, amidst the statement debacle, Jaiswal and Sarfaraz resumed their entries after drinking, adding another flourish to the show. When Rohit Sharma declared the innings “for real” this time, the stage was set, with a daunting target of 557 runs looming over England’s shoulders. The search for him failed, echoing a bygone era when English resistance crumbled in the face of Indian prowess.

However, amidst the subdued revelry, Ravindra Jadeja’s jubilant posture stood out, a testament to her “complete” performance.

And let’s not forget, amidst the avalanche of achievements, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s meteoric rise deserves a mention: he is now the third-youngest cricketer to score two double centuries, along with the distinction of being the first to smash 20 sixes. in a series of tests. Truly, the boy’s journey is a saga in itself!
