Every now and then, stump-mic catches the words which are spoken by him; sometimes they evoke humour and also catch the attention of everyone. On the third day of the ongoing Ranchi Test against England, Rohit Sharma was at his very best when he scolded teammate Sarfaraz Khan for ignoring personal safety.

Since being shared, the short clip on the incident has gone viral, and even the Delhi Police have also used it to spread awareness on the importance of wearing a helmet while driving.
