IND vs AFG, 3rd T20I: 'Thigh Pad Diya Kya Pehla Ball?' Stump Mic Captures Rohit Sharma's Hilarious Conversation – WATCH VIDEO

Rohit Sharma was dismissed for ducks in the first two matches against Afghanistan in the series.

Rohit Sharma will lead India in the T20I series against Afghanistan.

Bangalore: Indian captain Rohit Sharma was caught on the stump mic during a hilarious conversation during the third T20I against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. The incident took place just after the first ball of the second overbow was thrown by Azmatullah Omarzai, where Rohit could be seen asking the umpire if the first ball he faced was off the thigh pad?

“Thigh cushion dia kya pehla ball? Itna bada bat laga tha, pehle hi do zero ho chuka he (Did you indicate the thigh pad in the first ball? I already have two zeros),” Roit was heard saying over the stump microphone, causing the commentators to burst out laughing.

Rohit's concerns came after two of his fours in the first over of the match, bowled by Fareed Ahmed, were given leg byes. Meanwhile, India are reeling at 22/4 in the fifth over after Ahmed rocked the hosts' top order with three wickets including Virat Kohli, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Notably, Samson and Kohli were dismissed for first-ball ducks. Earlier, Rohit won the toss and chose to bat first. India, who won their first two matches, made three changes. Samson, Avesh Khan and Kuldeep Yadav replaced Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Jitesh Sharma in the Indian XI. Afghanistan also made three changes.
