'Hero nahi banne ka': Rohit Sharma warns Sarfaraz Khan for not wearing helmet at close-in position

Sarfaraz Khan was impressive in the field with two catches on Day 3 of the fourth Test against England in Ranchi, but India captain Rohit Sharma pulled him up for standing at a close-in position without wearing a helmet.

The incident took place in England's second innings when Kuldeep Yadav was bowling.

Sarfaraz, playing only his second Test, came to field at the close-in position without wearing a helmet, leading to Rohit warning him.

"Arey bhai, hero nahi banne ka, helmet pehen le (brother, no need to act like a hero, wear the helmet)," Rohit was heard telling Sarfaraz in his inimitable style.

Sarfaraz listened to his captain and gestured to the dressing room to bring out a helmet for his safety.

The short clip went viral on social media. Even Delhi Police used it to spread awareness about the importance of wearing helmet while driving.

"Two-wheeler par hero nahi banne ka! Hamesha helmet pehenne ka! (no need to act like a hero on two wheeler, always wear helmet)," Delhi Police said on his 'X' handle.

Sarfaraz took two catches during the England second innings, one of which was at short-leg to dismiss Ben Duckett. He then dived forward at mid-on to get hold of a mistimed loft from Tom Hartley off the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav.
