'Neeche baith ke rah': Jaiswal recalls Rohit Sharma's scolding in Insta post
Jaiswal shared a set of pictures from India's training session as preparations began for the two-Test series. However, it was his caption that caught the attention of fans.
India's Yashasvi Jaiswal reminisced about a notable incident involving former captain Rohit Sharma in a recent Instagram post. The left-handed batter shared a series of images from India's training session ahead of the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka. However, it was his caption that garnered attention from fans.
The caption referenced a well-known on-field instruction from Rohit during India's tour of Australia. Jaiswal wrote, "jab tak khelega nahi, tab tak uthneka nahi," which translates to "until you keep playing, don't get up." This was a reminder from Rohit Sharma himself, who was captaining India at the time.
The caption referred to an incident during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy when Jaiswal was fielding at forward silly point. He briefly stood up before Steve Smith had completed his shot. Rohit, noticing this, immediately reminded Jaiswal to stay low until the ball had been played. The exchange was captured on the stump microphone and quickly went viral, becoming one of the lighter moments of India's tour of Australia.
The post brought back memories of that moment as India prepared for the Sri Lanka series. Jaiswal is expected to open the batting alongside KL Rahul when the team faces Sri Lanka in the first Test at the Galle International Stadium on August 15.
