When helpless Aaron Finch asked umpire 'How to dismiss Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma'

The game of cricket is won by partnerships. There is a term called match winner that is doing rounds off late in the social media but there is no one person can win a game of cricket single handedly. Of course, there are exceptions like the innings of Ben Stokes at Headingly and the heroics of Kusal Perera at Durban but Stokes needed the support of Jack Leach who gave the strike at an important moment of the game.

The partnerships is all that matters in the game of cricket. One such partnership that has been terrorizing the world cricket for over 7 years now is the pair of the Indian captain and Vice captain in Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

When Michael Gough failed to help Aaron Finch!

The match official from England in Michael Gough shared an interesting story to the widen cricket monthly when he turned down Aaron Finch’s request to help him. The Englishman who has officiated 62 ODIs in his career said,

I remember a match between India and Australia, and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were putting on a huge partnership. I stood next to Aaron Finch at square leg and he said to me, during the game, how it was unbelievable to watch these two great players. Then he asked me how I would bowl at them! I looked at them and said, ‘I have got enough on my plate, you are on your own there,’

The dangerous pair!
