 "Rohit Sharma, Sarfaraz Khan")
Ravindra Jadeja took India out from shambles with a patient century alongside captain Rohit Sharma on Day 1 of India vs England 3rd Test in Rajkot. But the local boy made a terrible mistake on the way to his hundred, which drew captain Rohit Sharma's ire from the dressing room.

Here's what has happened
After the dismissal of Rohit Sharma, Sarfaraz made a charismatic start of his Test career by slamming an attacking fifty on debut. Meanwhile, Jadeja went into a shell and scored only ten runs, while Sarfaraz scored his fifty.
However, when Jadeja was on 99, he hit the ball straight to the mid-on fielder and called for a single, only to say no as Sarfaraz responded. The great mix-up resulted in Sarfaraz's wicket, whose 66-ball 62 was cut short by Mark Wood's direct hit on the non-striker end.
