Team India's batting star Rohit Sharma trolled Yashasvi Jaiswal after the latter's hundred in the third ODI against South Africa in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, December 6. Rohit seemingly poked fun at how comfortable the southpaw looked after reaching 75 runs.

Having failed to cross the 30-run mark in the first two games of the series, Jaiswal went on to score his maiden ODI ton, staying unbeaten at 116 as the hosts chased down 271 with nine wickets to spare. He added 116 runs with Virat Kohli for the second wicket.

In a video shared by the Indian team on Instagram, Rohit was seen telling head coach Gautam Gambhir with animated gestures:

"70 tak. Jaise 75 dikhega. Bhai sahab comfortable dikhe. (He looked quite comfortable after reaching 75.)"

In response, Jaiswal said:

"Bhaiya bole khel 50 tak. Uske baad maar. (Brother told me try to play cautiously until 50 and keep dishing out the big hits.)"

Having scored his maiden ODI ton, the southpaw joined Rohit, Kohli, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Suresh Raina as the sixth Indian to make an international hundred in all three formats.

Jaiswal credited the senior players in the team for backing him during his struggles. He added:

"Very special. I'm very happy and grateful and blessed. It's very emotional for me because I always dreamt of this that one day I will have a century for India in ODIs. So, I made it. It's really important because I was trying so hard to convert those starts but I couldn't. The same thing I was thinking, the minute I'll come and get set, I'll make sure that I'll play as deep as possible and make sure to finish the game. I'm so blessed to have my seniors, the way they have been talking to me when I'm not doing well. Genuinely, I feel blessed to play with them."

Kohli won the Player of the Series award for his 302 runs in three innings.
