In a crucial IPL 2023 match between the Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians, leg-spinner Rashid Khan provided an important breakthrough for his team by dismissing Mumbai Indians’ captain Rohit Sharma.
The wicket fell in the 7th over of the innings when Rashid bowled a well-flighted leg-break that spun slightly and straightened with the angle. Rohit, attempting to defend, was lured forward and ended up edging the ball.
Rahul Tewatia, positioned at slip, made a smooth catch look effortless as he moved swiftly to his left.
The dismissal of Rohit Sharma, who had been in fine form, came as a significant blow to the Mumbai Indians’ batting line-up.
Rohit had scored 29 runs off just 18 deliveries, including three boundaries and two sixes. His aggressive start had provided momentum to the team during the power-play overs, making his wicket all the more valuable for the Gujarat Titans.
