Warning! Watch These Rohit Sharma One-Liners with Your Family at Your Own Risk!
The Indian captain Rohit Sharma is known among the fans for his aggressive batting style and fearless approach in the powerplay. But, he also holds various moments in the stump mic, which made fans and even commentators break the character. Over the last few years, the Hitman has given several stump mic moments to the fans, from sledges to playful digs at the teammates. His presence on the field adds an exciting element to the team with his one-liners, hilarious reactions, and much more. In this blog, we will be taking a look at some of Rohit Sharma’s funniest stump mic moments, which prove that cricket is not just about the skills; sometimes, it is also about the fun.
1. Chat with Umpire
One of the classic and funniest moments of the Hitman caught on the stump mic was during the third T20I game against Afghanistan in the series, which took place in 2024. Sharma was out for a duck in the first two games, while in the third game, he hit his first run off the bat. But the umpire, Virender Sharma, gave it a leg bye, which Rohit Sharma had not realised earlier. However, he jokingly asked the umpire by saying, “Arey Viru, thigh pad diya kya pehla ball? Itna bada bat laga hai yaar. Do zero ho gaya yaar”.
This moment sparked joy among the cricket fans, as even the commentators laughed at this hilarious comment by Rohit Sharma to the on-field umpires. However, Hitman went on to score a century in this game, as India was able to win the third T20I match in the Super Over. Even in the stands, Indian players were seen smirking at the remarks Rohit Sharma made to the on-field umpire.
2. Taunts Dinesh Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians faced each other on 11th April in the IPL 2024 edition, which was also the last IPL season for Dinesh Karthik. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were batting first, and the team set a mammoth total of 196 runs, which resulted in the loss of 8 wickets. Playing his final IPL season, Dinesh Karthik was in red hot form, as he scored 53 runs off 23 balls against Mumbai Indians, with 5 fours and 4 sixes. Rohit Sharma, standing at the slips, taunted Dinesh Karthik by saying, “World Cup ke selection ke liye push karna hai isko, shabash. Dimag mein chal raha hai iske World Cup. Shabash DK, World Cup khelna hai”.
As the T20 World Cup was nearing the IPL 2024 end, there were several questions being raised about the primary wicketkeeper for the team. Rohit Sharma’s taunt on Dinesh Karthik made various fans and analysts break character, and even Dinesh Karthik gave a hilarious reaction to the same.
3. Tells Sarfaraz Khan to Wear Helmet
During the test series between India and England, Sarfaraz Khan made his debut for the Indian cricket team. His father was also seen having a conversation with the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who requested the captain to take care of his son on the field. Sarfaraz Khan showcased some impressive batting performances in his debut Test series, helping the Indian cricket team to a great extent. In the third test, the skipper gave him some remarks, which were caught on the stump mic.
On the fourth day of the test, Sarfaraz Khan came to the field in a close position, but he was not wearing a helmet. Rohit Sharma gave him a playful remark by saying, “Arey bhai, hero nahi banne ka, helmet pehen le (brother, no need to act like a hero, wear the helmet)”. This also caught the attention of the commentators, as they also gave a hilarious reaction to the same.
4. Sledges Ben Duckett
The Test series between India and England, which was played in 2024, caught another stump mic moment of the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. The much-anticipated auction of the Indian Premier League 2024 edition had come to an end, and it was also the final opportunity for the players worldwide to get themselves noticed by the IPL franchises. Ben Duckett was not a part of any of the teams even after the auction came to an end. During the last Test of the series, Duckett tried to play an expansive drive against the Indian bowling line-up.
The skipper, Rohit Sharma, made a playful remark on the same, saying, “Isko bol de IPL ka auction ho gaya khatam (tell him that the IPL auction is over)”. India was also able to win the fifth Test against England by an innings and 64 runs, with some remarkable displays by the Indian team in both batting and bowling areas. Ben Duckett scored 27 and 2 runs in both innings in the game.
5. Jadeja’s IPL Taunt
Ravindra Jadeja is known for bowling his spells quickly across all the formats, and it also happened in the test series between India and England. During the third Test match between India and England, Ravindra Jadeja bowled two no-balls in an over with Joe Root on the strike. This frustrated the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, but taking a look at the condition of the game, he reacted jokingly to the same. He told Ravindra Jadeja, “Yaar, ye Jadeja IPL mein to itne no-balls nahi dalta. T20 samajh ke bowling kar, Jaddu. (Man, Jadeja doesn’t bowl this many no-balls in the IPL. Think it’s a T20 game and bowl)”.

Ravindra Jadeja has bowled the fewest no balls and wides in his career so far, and he also does not give various extras in the IPL games. Considering this, Hitman Rohit Sharma gave a hilarious taunt to Jadeja, which made the players break their character.
