'Isko toh Hindi nahi aati' - Sarfaraz Khan and Shoaib Bashir's hilarious interaction caught on stump mic, video goes viral

Stump mics have provided cricket enthusiasts with a plethora of iconic moments from the cricket field. In the first session on Day 2 of the fourth Test between India and England in Ranchi, Sarfaraz Khan and Shoaib Bashir were involved in a humorous interaction that was caught on the stump mic.

After Ollie Robinson notched up his maiden Test half-century on Day 2, he departed after being caught behind in an attempt to hit a reverse-sweep off Ravindra Jadeja. Shoaib Bashir walked out to the middle and joined Joe Root. As the young English off-spinner was getting ready to face his first ball, Sarfaraz, who was fielding at silly point, was heard saying, "Isko toh Hindi nahi aati [He doesn't understand Hindi]." To this, Bashir replied: "Thodi thodi aati hai Hindi [I do understand a little bit of Hindi]."

The video showcasing the hilarious interaction between the two youthful cricketers had the cricket fraternity in stitches.

Bashir could only last a couple of deliveries as he was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja for a duck. The 20-year-old went for a wild agricultural swing across the line, but all he managed to get was a leading edge that was safely caught by Rajat Patidar at backward point.

Jadeja's bowling spell culminated with impressive figures of 4 wickets for 67 runs in 32.5 overs.

India's innings didn't get off to a great start with the bat as skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the third over by James Anderson.
