"If Rohit hits six, I will support Mumbai Indians": Tim Payne teases Sharma on field

The second day of the third Test between India and Australia is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.

 

Reportedly, during the match, Australia Captain Tim Paine tried to get under the skin of batsman Rohit Sharma. During Tea, Paine was heard talking to fellow cricketer Aaron Finch who was fielding. Paine was heard saying, "There is a toss-up between (Rajasthan) Royals and (Mumbai) Indians for me. If Rohit hits a six here, I am changing to Mumbai."

 

Paine was trying to get Sharma worked up so as to mess up his shot. However, Sharma did not fall for the tricks and played his game coolly.
