Ind vs NZ: It was a forgetful day at the M. Chinnaswamy for the Indian team as they were bundled out for 46 runs versus New Zealand in the first Test in Bengaluru on Thursday. India captain Rohit Sharma was disappointed and that was evident as the cameras panned a number of times towards the dressing-room. But, he shot to spotlight when he lost his cool during the New Zealand batting. The incident took place while Tom Latham and Devon Conway were in the middle. Rohit got angry and yelled. The audio is not very clear, but comments suggest he may have lost his cool on Sarfaraz Khan. While India are completely on the backfoot, the clip is now going viral.
