Rohit Sharma’s Epic Roast: “Go Back!” – Hilarious DRS Banter with Kuldeep Yadav Steals Vizag ODI Spotlight!
Visakhapatnam, December 6, 2025 – Rohit Sharma might have handed over the ODI captaincy to KL Rahul, but his on-field leadership – and savage sense of humor – is as sharp as ever! In a moment that’s already gone mega-viral with 2M+ views, Rohit roasted Kuldeep Yadav mid-over for his desperate DRS pleas during the 3rd ODI against South Africa, yelling “Go back!” while Virat Kohli chuckled in the slips. The banter lightened the tension as India cruised to a 9-wicket win, sealing a 3-0 whitewash – and Rohit’s innings of 75 off 73 balls (7×4, 3×6) was the perfect cherry on top.
Kuldeep’s 4/41 was the match-winner, but Rohit’s cheeky intervention – captured in a fan clip – turned the serious spell into comedy gold. From DRS drama to dominant chase, here’s the full story of Rohit’s innings, the roast that broke the internet, and why this series feels like the Hitman’s farewell masterstroke.

Rohit’s Innings: The Perfect Powerplay Platform
Chasing 271, Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone with a blistering 48-run powerplay – Rohit’s signature aggression on full display. He smashed Jansen for two boundaries in the first over, pulling Ngidi for a massive six over deep midwicket. By the 10th over, he was on 35 off 25 – fluent drives, ramps, and those trademark aerial shots that make bowlers sweat.
The 50-run stand came in just 7.2 overs, with Rohit reaching his half-century off 48 balls – his 3rd in the series. Key moments:
- Over 4: Six off Jansen – full toss dispatched over long-on
- Over 12: Lofted cover drive off Maharaj – pure class
- Over 20: Pull for four off Bosch – wristy magic
Dismissal? Mistimed pull off Maharaj at 155/1 (25.5 overs) – caught Breetzke. But the platform? Set – Jaiswal (116*) and Kohli (65*) cruised home. Rohit post-match: “Just wanted to give the chase momentum – happy it worked.”
The Viral Roast: Rohit’s “Go Back!” to Kuldeep’s DRS Drama
Mid-SA innings, Kuldeep was in beast mode – 4/41 with googlies ripping through the middle order. But against stubborn batters like Brevis and Jansen, he kept hitting pads and pleading with skipper KL Rahul for DRS: “Review karo, bhai!” Umpire not out – Kuldeep’s appeals grew desperate.
Enter Rohit at first slip – mic’d up and merciless. As Kuldeep turned back for the umpteenth time, Rohit yelled: “Go back! Ja, appeal mat kar!” with a straight face, while Kohli stifled laughs in the cordon. The clip exploded – 2M+ views in hours, fans dubbing it “Rohit’s captaincy never left.”
Kuldeep later: “Rohit bhai ne hasa diya – but review nahi liya, good call!” All three LBW shouts? Umpire’s call or missing – Rohit’s instincts saved reviews. Banter gold in tense decider.
Series Context: Rohit’s Farewell? 3-0 Whitewash Gift

Final Verdict: Rohit’s Roast & Runs – Hitman’s Last Laugh
75 runs + viral roast? Rohit Sharma exits ODI captaincy on high – 3-0 glory, banter immortal. Kuldeep’s 4-fer? Spellbound. Vizag? Rohit’s playground.
