Senior Indian opener Rohit Sharma took a blinder at the first slip on Saturday off the bowling of chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, sending back Rovman Powell to the pavilion in the ongoing third One Day International (ODI) match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.

In the 24th over of the first innings, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a googly to Powell around middle and Windies’ number four batsman tried to dispatch it into the orbit with a slog. However, the ball took the edge of Powell’s bat and Rohit Sharma pulled off an impressive catch to his left.

Earlier in the day, Rohit Sharma had taken a brilliant catch off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling to dismiss West Indies opener Kieran Powell.

Virat Kohli-led Men-in-Blue enjoy a 1-0 lead in the ongoing five-match ODI series between India and West Indies.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, who is also fondly known as ‘the hitman,’ has made a comeback in India’s Test squad for the upcoming four-match Test series against Australia in Down Under.
