Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was visibly upset with the cameraperson as the giant screen kept showing him during a DRS review on Day 1 of the fourth Test match against England in Ranchi on Friday. The incident happened when Rohit asked for a DRS review after Ravindra Jadeja struck batter Ben Foakes on his pads but the umpire judged it not-out. While the review was underway, the giant screen kept showing Rohit before the India skipper made his irritation clear and asked the camera operator to show the replay instead. The video of the entire incident has gone viral on social media.
Meanwhile, Joe Root hit an unbeaten 106 to lead England's recovery from early trouble after Indian fast bowler Akash Deep took three wickets on debut in the fourth Test on Friday.
England, who are fighting to stay alive at 2-1 down in the five-match series, reached stumps at 302-7 after electing to bat first in Ranchi.

Mohammed Siraj broke the partnership with the wicket of Foakes but former captain Root stood firm and had Ollie Robinson, on 31, for company in an unbeaten stand of 57 at the close of play.
Root's 31st Test ton came after a torrent of criticism for throwing away his wicket off a reverse scoop as England lost the third Test.
