Rohit Sharma started the new year with a different approach, and 2023 has been kind to him. The 35-year-old has scored 328 runs in 6 games this year, 79 more than his 2022 tally with two fewer innings. While his fortune has changed with the bat, one thing that the hitman failed to change is his temperament on the field.

Despite posing challenging totals for the opponents, the Indian side has often found itself in a state of bother in a match, when Sharma usually gets animated and reacts angrily towards his teammates. This article will focus on the five instances when Rohit Sharma lost his cool on his teammates.

1. SHARDUL THAKUR DURING THE NEW ZEALAND GAME

The latest incident where Rohit lost his temper was during the 3rd ODI against New Zealand, where Rohit got angry at Shardul Thakur. India, batting first, put 385 on the board, courtesy of centuries from Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Chasing 386, the Kiwis lost regular wickets, but Devon Conway kept the blackcaps in the game with his blistering hundred. During the 18th over, Shardul bowled two consecutive short deliveries to Devon Conway, who guided the ball towards the boundaries effortlessly. An angry Rohit approached Shardul and blasted him for his misguided line and length, and his gestures reflected that he wanted Shardul to avoid short deliveries.
