(Watch) Virat Kohli gives a tight hug to Rohit Sharma after skipper grabs a stunner at the slips.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma showcased his fielding prowess with a breathtaking catch that sent Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka packing during Sri Lanka’s pursuit of a challenging target of 214 runs. As the Lankans struggled at the halfway mark, having lost half of their wickets, Rohit Sharma’s spectacular catch added to their woes.
Jadeja’s magic on the pitch was evident as he skillfully extracted maximum turn from the surface and made the ball swerve along its trajectory. The pivotal moment that dismissed Dasun Shanaka was orchestrated by a well-tossed-up delivery that landed just outside the off-stump. Shanaka, tempted by the enticing full delivery, attempted a drive but ended up edging the ball.
Rohit Sharma, positioned expertly in the slip cordon, exhibited exceptional reflexes as he lunged to grasp the ball inches from the ground. His elation was palpable, and his teammates, led by Virat Kohli, were quick to acknowledge the brilliance of this catch, celebrating with a jubilant embrace.
