Umpire recalls Finch’s query on breaking Kohli-Rohit p’ship

The Hindu  

At its best, the Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma combination can make any opposition look ordinary. On one such occasion, the desperate rival skipper - Australia’s Aaron Finch - ended up turning to the umpire for advice on how to bowl at them. The umpire in question was Englishman Michael Gough and he recalled telling Finch, “You’re on your own.” The 40-year-old Gough, who has so far officiated in 62 One-Day Internationals, including during the two recent India-Australia bilateral series in 2019 and 2020, recalled a conversation he had with Finch while the Indian run-machines went about their business. “I remember a match between India and Australia, and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were putting on a huge partnership,” Gough told Wisden Cricket Monthly. ‘Enough on my plate’ “I was stood next to Aaron Finch at square-leg and he said to me, during the game, how it was unbelievable to watch these two great players.
