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.

This unexpected turn of events left fans in disbelief, including his wife Ritika Sajdeh, especially given Rohit's excellent form in the ODI World Cup.

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to field, making one change as Dhananjaya de Silva was replaced by Dushan Hemantha.

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
