Rohit Sharma’s Stump Mic Antics: A Legacy Loved by Fans
Indian cricket fans have always adored captain Rohit Sharma for his light-hearted and witty stump mic comments that often provide moments of levity during tense matches. His infamous chirp, “Garden mein ghoomne wale ladke,” aimed at young fielders during last year’s Test series against England, remains etched in memory as one of the most iconic moments caught on the stump mic.
Recently, India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav humorously weighed in on the topic. When asked if players still “roam around the garden” now that Rohit is no longer part of the T20I setup, Suryakumar joked that there’s no need to stop anyone because no one wanders anymore.
Suryakumar on Staying Away from the Stump Mic
Suryakumar admitted he prefers to steer clear of stump mic antics, hinting that such playful remarks are best left to Rohit:
“Rokta nahi hu kisi ko, kyunki ghoomne wala toh koi hota hi nahi. Try karta hoon door rahoon stumps se. Agar kisi ka woh specialty hai toh woh unhi ke sath rahe toh zyada better hai.”
“I don’t stop anyone—there’s no one wandering around anyway. I just prefer keeping my distance from the stumps. If it’s someone’s specialty, it’s better it remains with them.”
On whether he understands Rohit’s cryptic “ye-woh” language, Suryakumar quipped:
“Arre, jab hum garden mein idhar-udhar ghoom rahe hote hain, woh toh waise bhi sunai de hi jaata hai.”
“Yes, while strolling around the garden, those sounds always find their way to us,” he said with a chuckle.
India Clinches a Nail-Biting Victory in Chennai
Meanwhile, India extended their lead to 2-0 in the five-match T20I series against England. In a thrilling second match, Tilak Varma emerged as the hero, anchoring the chase with an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls.
Chasing a target of 166, India faced regular setbacks, but Tilak’s calm and composed innings ensured they secured a two-wicket victory with four balls to spare. His maturity under pressure further reinforced his rising stature in the Indian setup.
With their momentum intact, India looks to continue dominating the series as fans await more memorable moments—both on and off the field.
