Watch: An animated Rohit Sharma signals Cheteshwar Pujara to get into attacking mode in 3rd IND vs AUS Test

Team India captain Rohit Sharma was visibly unhappy with the approach of Cheteshwar Pujara during the final session of Day 2 in the ongoing third Test against Australia in Indore.

At the end of the 52nd over of India's second innings, Sharma was captured having a conversation with substitute Ishan Kishan. From his gestures, it seemed as if he wanted Pujara and Axar Patel to show positive intent instead of just looking to bat time.

A video of the incident was shared by a fan on Twitter and has since gone viral on social media.

You can watch the clip below:

Notably, the message led to Pujara changing gears. The right-handed batter sent Nathan Lyon's delivery over the ropes for a stunning six in the 55th over, presumably executing the skipper's plans.

Sharma seemed to enjoy Pujara's six and was seen sporting a wide smile in the dressing room.

Cheteshwar Pujara dismissed after a well-made half-century on Day 2

While Cheteshwar Pujara slammed an impressive six following Rohit Sharma's message, he was dismissed soon after, putting the hosts in deep trouble.

The well-set batter fell to Nathan Lyon in the 57th over while trying to flick the ball away. Steve Smith hung on to a terrific one-handed diving catch at leg slip to end Pujara's gritty knock.

The Saurashtra-born batter fought a lone battle in the second innings. While the side's top-order big guns departed early, he occupied the crease from one end, scoring 59 runs from 142 deliveries.

With his dismissal, Pujara also created an unwanted record. This was the 13th time he got out to Lyon in Test cricket. This is the most number of times an Indian batter has been dismissed by a single bowler in the format. It is worth mentioning that he got out to Lyon in the first innings of the Indore Test as well.
