IND vs BAN: Rohit Sharma caught the ball by jumping 7.8 feet and improved Mohammad Siraj's record!
It is not yet known what will be the result of the Kanpur Test. But, the catch that Indian captain Rohit Sharma took with one hand by jumping about 8 feet in the first session on the fourth day would not be wrong to call it amazing. It is said that matches are won by catching the ball. This catch taken by Rohit Sharma while waving in the air is a perfect example of that, but apart from that, this catch taken by Rohit has also helped in improving the record of Mohammad Siraj.
Now you must be thinking that the catch is fine but how did Mohammad Siraj's record improve further due to Rohit's catch? Before we come to the answer to this question, let's take a look at the catches taken by Rohit.
Rohit Sharma took the catch of Bangladeshi player Litton Das, who had played a good shot on Mohammad Siraj's ball. But captain Rohit Sharma came in the middle of his excellent shot. He stopped the shot going over his head in the middle and converted it into a catch. To do this, Rohit Sharma had to just take his right hand in the air and jump 7.8 feet high.
WHAT. A. CATCH 👏👏
