It was the 1st T20I (D/N) of the Sri Lanka tour of India at Nagpur on Dec 9, 2009, and India had won the toss and elected to field first.

Sri Lanka was cruising at 110 for 1 at the end of the 12th over, with Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara at the crease with a partnership of 74.

Rohit Sharma was handed the ball for the 13th over, and Sangakkara was on strike. He hit Rohit for a 6 on the very first ball. The next ball, Sangakkara took a single and Dilshan, playing on 34, was on strike.

Rohit's third ball of the over rattled Dilshan's stumps as he tried to slog it over. That was Rohit's only dismissal for the match and has been his only dismissal in T20 Internationals yet.

India lost the match by 29 runs as they finished with 186/9 in 20 overs while chasing the 215 set by the Sri Lankans.
