Rohit Sharma takes a stunner [Source: Screengrab/SonyLiv]
Rohit Sharma gave an early lifeline to Will Young as the Indian player dropped a sitter in the second over. However, the veteran redeemed himself as he plucked a stunning catch to send back the dangerous Finn Allen and break his partnership with Young.
Allen was playing at a rapid pace, and the right-handed batter was all set to reach the 50-run mark before Rohit halted the run and took a brilliant catch to end his quickfire stay at the crease.
Rohit takes a stunner to end Allen-Young partnership
Dropping Young proved costly for Rohit and India, as the Kiwi opener smashed a brilliant hundred. However, the same mistake wasn’t repeated with Allen as Rohit made sure he hung on to the ball.
Axar Patel, the off-break bowler, delivered a length ball as Allen wanted to punch it towards the off-side. However, he failed to keep the ball down, and Rohit was standing at short cover to pounce on the ball.
The 39-year-old showed that age is just a number as he stretched with an attempted dive towards his left, and grabbed the ball cleanly as the dangerous Finn Allen was dismissed for 41 off 30 balls. He had added 90 runs alongside Young, and Rohit broke the partnership.
Allen was all set for a big score, and the partnership was threatening to take the game away from the Men in Blue before the legendary player intercepted and took a sharp reflex catch to remind everyone of his brilliance on the field.
Rohit Sharma breaks his personal catching milestone
This was Rohit Sharma’s 12th ODI catch of the year, and he shattered his personal best catching feat after dismissing Allen.
