Indian captain Rohit Sharma made a hilarious question to Ishan Kishan, which broke internet in laughter.
When skipper Rohit asked “why despite scoring 200 you sat out for 3 games,” Ishan replied in a hilarious way. “Bhaiya yeh to aap btaoge, captain to aap the naa,” a quick reply came from Kishan.
Ishan Kishan was picked for the team in the first ODI versus New Zealand after being benched for all the ODIs against Sri Lanka. For leaving out Kishan and Suryakumar from the first two ODIs against Sri Lanka, Rohit came under fire.

1st ODI Highlights –
The high-scoring thriller at last came to an end and the blues made it possible with a win but not to forget how close the visitors were despite Shubman Gill’s double ton gave the Kiwis a tough target of 350 runs.
In the first innings, the Indian top order hoped to survive well after the Sri Lanka dominance but it was only Shubman Gill who played till the end to give team India a tough total, which was worth defending for.
Shubman Gill became the youngest cricketer to smash a double century in the ODI format and also the 5th Indian cricketer to achieve this incredible milestone.
Talking about the second innings, Kuldeep Yadav, Shami, and most significantly Siraj made it possible as New Zealand lost 6 wickets at just 131 runs but it was Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner who kept the hopes alive. The Indians, who were primarily anticipating Latham or Conway, were taken aback by Michael’s innings after Bracewell’s incredible performance, which saw him support team New Zealand from the bottom up. After the Kiwis lost 6 wickets, Santner and Michael Bracewell put up 162 runs to turn the match in their favour. But Mitchell Santner was ultimately taken out of by Mohammed Siraj to allow India to comeback in the game.
Hardik Pandya conceded a lot of runs but managed to bowl out a tail-ender which boosted Shardul Thakur’s confidence as India need only 1 wicket to win in the last over while Bracewell was on strike with 20 more runs to claim for a win.
Bracewell smashed an astonishing six in the first delivery of the game’s last over but Shardul Thakur’s yorker delivery ultimately sealed the win for the hosts.
