[Watch] Rohit Sharma gets caught in the slips for 6 in IND vs BAN 2024 1st Test
Team India skipper and opener Rohit Sharma was dismissed for six in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh on Thursday, September 19. The match of the two-Test series is being played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
The dismissal occurred on the first ball of the sixth over, the third Hasan Mahmud's spell. He kept the ball around the off stump and the 37-year-old tried to defend it with an angled bat, thus getting a thick outside edge. The ball kept a bit low but his counterpart, Najmul Hossain Shanto held onto the catch at second slip.
