Rohit Sharma made an incredible one-handed catch at mid-off to dismiss Bangladesh’s Litton Das during the India vs. Bangladesh Kanpur Test on Monday. This stunning catch was a turning point in the game, dismissing Das for 13 runs off 30 balls ¹ ² ³ ⁴.
Das attempted to hit a length ball over the infield but didn’t get enough elevation, and the ball went flat towards Rohit, who was stationed at mid-off. Rohit reacted quickly, leaping into the air to his right and plucking the ball out of the air with one hand, well above his head ⁴.
This spectacular catch not only sent Litton back to the pavilion but also set the tone for India’s intent on the field. The Indian team, buoyed by moments like Rohit’s catch, looked to make further inroads into the Bangladeshi batting lineup ⁴.
The match resumed on Day 4 after rain and a wet outfield washed out play on the second and third days at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Indian pacers Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah consistently hit good lengths, keeping Bangladesh under pressure ¹.
Rohit’s brilliance in the field was just one example of India’s determination to dominate the match and push for a series-clinching victory ⁴.
