India captain Rohit Sharma took a stunning catch at slips to dismiss Ollie Pope on Day 4 of the ongoing third Test against England in Rajkot on Sunday, February 18.
The dismissal took place during the 10th over of England’s second innings. Jadeja bowled a flatter delivery on off-stump and the ball angled into the off-stump. It took a thick outside edge as Pope went for a cut. The delivery spun enough and Rohit Sharma reacted quickly to take a sharp reflex catch at slips. The right-hander looked gutted as he walked off the ground after just three runs.
It was like a repeat of the second Test where Rohit had taken another sharp reflex catch off Ravichandran Ashwin to dismiss England vice-captain Pope.

With the dismissal, India reduced the visitors to 20/3 in a mammoth chase of 557.
