On day 4 of the India vs Bangladesh second test at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, the Indian captain and batter stunned fans and the opposition team by dismissing Bangladeshi batter Litton Das with a superb one-handed catch during the morning session on Monday, September 30.
Rohit’s catch was a standout moment for cricket fans around the world, while India led the series 1-0 following a dominant 280-run victory in Chennai. Sharma was fielding at mid-off and jumped as Das’s drive off Mohammed Siraj looked like it was going for the boundary, but Sharma, in the deep, reached out with his right hand, catching the ball. Das, who scored 13 runs, was left in disbelief, taking a shot beautifully but unable to dodge Rohit’s shocker.
