Rohit Sharma shoos away Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan amid India captain's spike delay, England confused

Hindustan Times  

England were in for some serious beating as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan went on a rampage to set them a herculean 557-run target. Jaiswal notched up the second double century of his Test career, and Sarfaraz a consecutive fifty as India declared their second innings on 430/4. However, just before the declaration, a comical moment including Rohit Sharma – who else, of course – led to a huge confusion leaving Sarfaraz, Jaiswal and England perplexed. But plot twist: It wasn't yet the time for England to get some respite and Rohit shooed Sarfaraz and Jaiswal back to carry on, all because the captain was yet to put on his spikes. India's innings carried on for just another over, as after Sarfaraz smoked the leg-spinner for 6, 4, 6, 0 and 1, Rohit called for the declaration, with India ahead by a massive 556-run lead, all thanks to Jaiswal's monumental double and half-centuries from Sarfaraz and Shubman Gill.
