Apart from the result or action of the match, Rohit Sharma kept being the man of the moment on a couple of occasions. Be it giving instructions to his players even with a bleeding nose or be it having an exchange of words with the on-field umpire Virender Sharma.

The video of Rohit having an exchange with Virender Sharma has gone viral over social media. Rohit Sharma can be seen in the video coming up with multiple expressions while having a conversation with the umpire.

Here’s the video:

It all happened when Indian skipper Sharma was batting and the umpire went to declare him out. This didn't go down well with the Indian captain and he reacted furiously to the decision of the umpire. Rohit took no time in taking a DRS just after his disbelief in the umpire's decision.

Speaking of the match, then the hosts have now taken a winning lead in the series by a margin of 2-0 with an emphatic win in the second T20I against the visitors.

Batting first, the Indian batter posted a massive total of 237 runs for the loss of three wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Suryakumar Yadav ended up as the highest run-scorer for India with his blistering knock of 61 runs off just 22 balls with five boundaries and the same number of sixes to his name. Other than Surya, KL Rahul also smashed a half-century if 59 runs off 28 balls.

While chasing the target, the visitors fell short by 16 runs even after the batting heroics of senior batter David Miller whose century went in vain. Miller played a swashbuckling knock of 107 runs off just 47 balls.
