Rohit Sharma's on-field mic comment about 'Garden mein ghoomne wale bande' went so viral that the captain himself used it as his Instagram post after winning the Test series against England on Saturday.
Rohit Sharma's captaincy style is non-fussy but mostly on-point and therefore when the skipper posted a picture with Sarfaraz Khan, Shubman Gill, Dhruv Jurel and Yashasvi Jaiswal, captioning it, "Garden mein ghoomne wale bande.” it won many hearts.
Rohit was referring to his on-field comment which was caught on the stump mic during the Visakhapatnam Test last month. At that moment the skipper wanted to assert to Team India's young brigade to be more attentive on the field and not roam around the ground as if they were in a garden.

Of the five debutants India fielded in the series, wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, batters Sarfaraz Khan and Devdutt Padikal and seamer Akash Deep impressed immediately. "All of these guys have played a lot of cricket even if they have not got test experience and they do understand how to play the game," Rohit said after India won the fifth test inside three days in Dharamsala. "It's just that I've got to nurture them. They responded very well to pressure throughout the series."
The five were brought in as batting stalwart Virat Kohli missed the series for personal reasons, seamer Mohammed Shami was not available due to injury and batter KL Rahul missed the last four tests. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also missed the second in Visakhapatnam after he and Rahul were injured in the opener in Hyderabad.

India still went on to register their 17th consecutive test series win at home, where they have not lost a test series since an Alastair Cook-led England bested them in 2012.
