On Day 4 of the fourth Test in Ranchi, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma hit a massive six with sheer nonchalance against James Anderson, invoking sharp and witty fan reactions in his appreciation. The moment happened during India’s pursuit of a 192-run target at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium, which they managed to chase down with five wickets in hand.
In the third over of the morning session, Rohit Sharma got a fuller delivery on leg stump from James Anderson, which he managed to get underneath to intentionally lift it over the mid-on region with a pick-up shot. The timing from the Indian captain was impeccable as the ball kept sailing in the air before landing in the grandstand at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi.
The social media platform X was very quick to shower praises on Rohit Sharma for taking the attack to one of the greatest bowlers of all time James Anderson.
In response to Rohit Sharma’s pick-up shot for a massive six, James Anderson, who was none too pleased, had a few pleasantries for the Indian captain. It led to Sharma firing back at Anderson with a few choice words of his own.
Moreover, Rohit Sharma was dismissed after scoring a very impressive fifty on a tough batting pitch. His dismissal triggered a mini-collapse for the Indian batting lineup but Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel shared a 72-run stand for the sixth wicket to hand India the Test and the series win against England.
