In India's first match of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit and Kohli were taking India to a good position before Rohit Sharma was run out in an unfortunate way.

When Rohit was batting on 91, Kohli hit a delivery from Shadab Khan straight to the point fielder Babar Azam and set off for a quick single. His partner, Rohit obliged and took off immediately to complete the run.

Rohit, who was running towards the striker’s end, knew that he had to put in a dive to make it to the crease.

He did just that and made sure that his bat crossed the line but unfortunately for him, the bat bounced off the ground while diving and was in the air when wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed whipped the bails off. The decision was referred to the third umpire and the bat wasn’t grounded, thus Rohit was adjudged out.

This was also the first time Rohit was run out when this pair was batting.
