Mohali: India skipper Rohit Sharma’s reaction towards his teammate Dinesh Karthik during the first T20I against Australia, has gone viral on social media.

Rohit grabbed Karthik’s neck after he did not show confidence for reviewing a not-out caught-behind decision given in favor of Australian Glenn Maxwell.

As it turned out, India did review it and the Ultra-edge showed a spike when the ball passed the bat resulting in the dismissal of Maxwell with the contest evenly poised at Mohali’s Punjab Cricket Association Stadium.
