Watch: Pacer of Sri Lanka Makes Rohit Sharma's Off-Stump Cartwheel Crowd Left Dumbstruck
In Mumbai The crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was left shell-shocked as Rohit Sharma was dismissed early during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka on Thursday. The Indian cricket team captain has been enjoying a great run of form in the ongoing tournament, but he was clean bowled by a superb delivery from Dilshan Madushanka. Rohit tried to guide the ball towards the covers, but it held its line and completely breached his defense. As a result, his off-stump was left cartwheeling as the crowd fell silent in the very first over of the Indian innings.
Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and decided to field. Till now, in this mega tournament of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, India is the only team yet to lose a match, with captain Rohit Sharma happy to bat first on his Wankhede Stadium home ground, where South Africa piled up 399 after being sent in by struggling champions England earlier in the tournament.
