After Virat Kohli says "Do Awaz Hai," Rohit Sharma takes DRS. Then the umpire does this in the first T20 match between India and the West Indies.

It's difficult to get the eyes off Rohit Sharma when the camera is on him, which is quite often the case now ever since he took over as India's limited-overs captain. He doesn't have that intense, battle-ready face of a Virat Kohli, nor does he stay almost reactionless like MS Dhoni. Rohit, in fact, has an own way of reacting on the cricket field. One such incident took place during India vs West Indies' first T20I at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. In between the confusion of whether to go for a DRS while listening to the bowler Ravi Bishnoi and former captain Virat Kohli, Rohit found time to pass on a comment on the on-field umpire's wide call. "Wide kidhar de raha hai yaar?" (How can you call it a wide?) Rohit said when the umpire stretched his arms, ignoring a confident appeal from debutant Bishnoi.

It all transpired in the 8th over of the West Indies innings when Bishnoi's slider appeared to have brushed the pad of Roston Chase before landing on Rishabh Pant's gloves. The leg-spinner was up in a huge appeal, but the umpire called it a wide instead.

Virat Kohli was quick to run in and the stump mics caught him saying, "Do awaaz aya hai" (I heard two sounds).

Rohit, who was standing at leg slip, then asked, "Do reviews hai na?" (We have two reviews, right).

"Do awaaz aya hai, main bol raha hu le le," replied Kohli (I head two sounds, go for it).
