Rohit Sharma’s Stunning Catch Lights Up Kanpur Test
India captain Rohit Sharma showcased his exceptional fielding skills on Monday, pulling off a breathtaking one-handed catch to dismiss Bangladesh’s Litton Das in the second Test at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium.
After two days of rain, the match resumed with Bangladesh resuming their innings at 148/4. Mohammed Siraj bowled a full-blooded drive from Das, which appeared destined for the boundary. However, Rohit, stationed at mid-off, timed his jump to perfection and extended his right hand to intercept the ball.
Das, who had timed his shot well, was left stunned as the ball stuck right in Rohit’s palm. The entire Indian team erupted in disbelief before celebrating wildly. Rohit ran with his hand raised and a beaming smile on his face.
The catch was the fifth wicket to fall for Bangladesh, with Jasprit Bumrah earlier dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim for 11. Mominul Haque, meanwhile, completed his half-century.
Rohit’s catch was a testament to his exceptional reflexes and fielding prowess. It also provided a much-needed boost to the Indian team, who were looking to build on their 1-0 series lead after a 280-run victory in Chennai.
The match continued with India looking to press their advantage and Bangladesh fighting to stay in the contest. The outcome of the Test will have a significant impact on the series standings and the ICC World Test Championship.
