Rohit Sharma, parked on the second slide, delivered a surprising low reception as he dived fully to send Australian batsman David Warner back in the first over of the fourth test underway in Brisbane. Mohammed Siraj threw a long pitch that moved from the wicket and caught the edge of Warner’s bat, as he looked to defend the ball. Rohit, who had dropped a babysitter in Jasprit Bumrah’s previous test, made no mistake this time around as she held onto the ball to give India an early breakthrough.
Here is the video of the capture:

The Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to call Rohit’s effort “impressive.”
