When the Indian Cricket Team captain Virat Kohli and Hitman Rohit Sharma pair on the pitch, all the teams of the world consider it great. It is the eyes of the opposing team that as soon as the pair returns to the pavilion. On one occasion, Australian captain Aaron Finch became so desperate that he sought advice from the umpire to dismiss them both. The umpire from whom advice was sought was Michael Gough of England and he remembers that he had told Finch that you would have to find a way for it yourself.

The 40-year-old Gough, who played the umpire in a total of 62 ODIs, including the last two ODI series between India and Australia in 2019 and 2020, recalled talks with Finch when Kohli and Rohit were batting brilliantly. Gough told 'Wisden Cricket Monthly', "I remember the match was going on between India and Australia, and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had formed a big partnership."

He further said, "I was standing close to Aaron Finch at square leg and during the match, he told me that it is incredible to see these two legendary players playing. After this, he asked me how I would bowl him. I looked at them and said 'I am happy in the work I am doing. Think about what you have to do."
