Rohit Sharma is generally a safe fielder in the slips, but in the 4th ODI match against New Zealand, the Indian veteran dropped a sitter at slips and gave a lifeline to Will Young, who survived an early scare.

After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer elected to bowl first, and the move was almost justified by Auqib Nabi, who induced an edge from Young’s bat, but Rohit couldn’t hold onto the ball, and Young breathed a sigh of relief.

Rohit Sharma’s dropped chance could come back to haunt India

The incident occurred in the 2nd over of the game when Nabi bowled a good-length ball and the delivery nipped away after pitching.

Young played with hard hands as the ball took the outside edge and was travelling towards Rohit at slips. The Indian player managed to grab the ball, but at the last second, it slipped out of his hands as Young survived a peach of a delivery.

In the second ODI, Daryl Mitchell was dropped while he was batting in his 20s, and the batter went on to score a fifty. India would hope a similar incident doesn’t take place, as Young would look to punish the Indian bowlers after getting a lifeline.
