Rohit Sharma

The ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 match between India and Sri Lanka began with a whirlwind of emotions as skipper Rohit Sharma struck a boundary off the first ball. However, the mood quickly shifted as he was clean-bowled by the very next delivery on his home turf at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.

The first ball raced to the boundary as Rohit Sharma expertly flicked an inswinger from Dilshan Madushanka that was too straight and landed on his pads. The crowd erupted with excitement.

But the second ball delivered an absolute gem. It uprooted Rohit's off-stump, leaving the Wankhede crowd stunned into silence. The well-pitched delivery angled away and nipped at the right moment. Rohit, anticipating an inswinger, misjudged the line, and the ball sailed past the outside edge before crashing into the off-stump.
