The incident took place in the later part of England's second innings when Kuldeep Yadav was bowling. Sarfaraz, who was playing in only his second Test, came to field at 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 had to listen to his captain. A helmet was brought from the Indian dressing room and Sarfaraz wore it.

Sarfaraz took two catches during the England second innings, one of which was at short- leg to dismiss Ben Duckett off R Ashwin for the team's first wicket, and then he dived forward at mid-on to get hold of a mistimed loft from Tom Hartley off the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav.

Earlier, Ravichandran Ashwin scalped another five-for as India bowled out England for 145 on day 3 of the fourth Test on Sunday to set the hosts a target of 192 to seal the series.

India were 40-0 at stumps, needing another 152 to win their third straight match and the five-Test series.
