Xtra Time Web Desk: Rohit Sharma's quick wit was on display during India's first ODI against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday, August 2. Known for his entertaining stump mic chatter, Rohit was involved in a humorous exchange with Washington Sundar during an LBW appeal.

In the 29th over of the Sri Lankan innings, Sundar delivered a Yorker to Dunith Wellalage, who managed to dig it out. Sundar appealed for an LBW, but the on-field umpire did not agree. Looking for advice on whether to take the DRS, Sundar turned to Rohit, who initially responded with surprise, asking, “What?” He then humorously added, “You tell me, mereko kya dekh raha hain (Why are you looking at me?)” and continued with a smile, “Sab kya main karu tere liye (Should I do everything for you?)”
