Rohit Sharma Dismissal
Tom Hartley used his thinking and cleverness to the fullest. He saw Rohit steeping forward in a bid to play a big shot. He had already hammered a fifty and was keen for more. Harley made proper adjustments to cleverly trick the Indian batter.
Rohit was in desperation to hit a big shot. He wanted to end the innings as soon as possible. Thus he premeditated to lay a big shot. Hartley seeing Rohit dancing down the track, bowled a bit short enforcing a big turn. Rohit unable to adjust saw the ball moving away from him and realises his folly.
Ben Foakes easily collects the ball to stump Rohit who was way off his crease. Rohit’s wicket was a big blow to the Indians who have now slowed down in their chase to win the match and the series.
