Watch Video: 'Tune bulaaya hi nahi', Rohit Sharma's chat with Amit Mishra turns awkward after India captain's 'commitment'
Rohit took part in Team India's practice session ahead of the game on Wednesday and batted in the nets alongside other players
Team India registered a comprehensive ODI series win over Australia last week and would be aiming at a clean-sweep victory when both sides meet in the third and final match of the series on Wednesday.
India's star batting duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma also make a return for the final ODI in Rajkot; this would be India's final bit of bilateral action before the side turns its focus on the World Cup, with warm ups against England and Netherlands before the start of tournament proper.
Rohit took part in Team India's practice session ahead of the game on Wednesday and batted in the nets alongside other players, and after the session, had a rather hilarious moment with India spinner Amit Mishra.
The 40 year old is part of JioCinema's broadcasting team and during a live streaming for practice session, Rohit joined the experts and had a chat over the side's preparations for the game.
Upon seeing Mishra, Rohit pointed out, “Aakh kyun laal hai aapka? (Why are your eyes so red?”. And as Mishra revealed that he hadn't slept the whole night, Rohit's reply stumped everyone including the spinner."Kya commitment hai. Itna commitment toh aapka udhar bhi nahi tha (You didn't have this much commitment on the field!). Rohit further told Mishra that the spinner never played under him to which Mishra hilariously replied, "Tune kabhi bulaaya hi nahi (You never called me!)

Amit Mishra played for the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2023 Indian Premier League; in seven matches for the franchise last season, he took as many wickets. The spinner, however, has remained out of contention for international selection since 2017 when he last represented India during a T20I against England. His last List A appearance for Haryana came in 2019.
