India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal amused fans by recalling Rohit Sharma's famous stump-mic instruction in an Instagram post during preparations for the Sri Lanka Test series. Jaiswal shared fielding practice pictures with the caption quoting Rohit's viral Melbourne remark, highlighting their close bond and the former captain's lasting influence on his Test journey.

Team India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal brought smiles to fans' faces with a witty social media post as India continued preparations for the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. Sharing pictures from an intense close-in fielding session, the young batter hilariously recalled one of former captain Rohit Sharma's most memorable on-field instructions, giving fans a nostalgic reminder of the duo's entertaining on-field chemistry.

Jaiswal captioned his Instagram post, "Because once a legend said, 'Jab tak khelega nahi, tab tak uthneka nahi,'" referring to Rohit's famous stump-mic outburst during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The line instantly went viral among cricket fans, many of whom remembered the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground where Rohit was heard urging the youngster to stay low while fielding at silly point.

The unforgettable moment came when Steve Smith was batting against Ravindra Jadeja and Jaiswal instinctively got up before the batter had played the ball. Rohit immediately shouted, "Gully cricket khel raha hai kya? Neeche baith ke rah, jab tak ball khelega nahi, uthne ka nahi!" The clip became one of the most talked-about stump-mic moments of the series, with fans praising Rohit's candid leadership style.

Jaiswal and Rohit have shared a close bond since the youngster's international debut. Both Mumbai cricketers, Jaiswal made his Test debut under Rohit's captaincy and has flourished into one of India's premier red-ball batters.
