IND v ENG 2024: WATCH – Rohit Sharma takes a sharp reflex catch at slip to dismiss Ollie Pope in Vizag Test

Ashwin took the prized scalp of Pope, courtesy of Rohit's brilliance on the field.

India skipper Rohit Sharma pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss England batter Ollie Pope on Day 4 of the second Test in Visakhapatnam.

Having played a game-changing knock of 196 in the opening Test, Pope was once again looking ominous for the Indian team. However, Rohit cut short his stay in the middle with a sensational reflex catch.

In the second delivery of the 29th over bowled by R Ashwin, Pope went for a cut shot but didn’t get the desired connection. The thick outside edge was flying to the left of Rohit, who plucked a sharp catch at slip.

Thanks to the captain’s brilliance on the field, India saw the back of dangerous Ollie Pope for just 23 off 21 balls.
