India are on the brink of sealing the Test series against England with a victory in Ranchi.

At the end of Day 3, team India have a distinct advantage and are just 152 runs away from winning the match. Chasing 192 runs, team India are 40 of no loss in the 2nd innings.

Captain Rohit Sharma has led his team with utmost distinction, but another act of his has caught the eye of the supporters. During the England batting, Rohit Sharma was seen taking care of Sarfaraz Khan, where he gave the Indian youngster a stern yet caring advice.

Sarfaraz, who is just playing his 2nd Test, was fielding at the Silly Point without wearing anything on his head. The 27-year-old was ready to continue fielding without anything but Rohit stopped the bowler and asked the player to wear the helmet first.

"Aye bhai, Hero nai banne ka (Hey brother, don't try to be a hero)," the stump mic caught Rohit Sharma saying Sarfaraz Khan.

KS Bharat came into the field with the helmet and subsequently, Sarfaraz wore it and the match resumed. It was the right decision from the Indian captain to stop the play and make Sarfaraz wear the helmet prior to that.

We have seen accidents happening in the cricket field when players lost lives for not wearing helmet at such close corners. Former India player Raman Lamba lost his life after being hit on the head during a club game in Dhaka back in 1998.
