ENG vs IND, Fourth Test: Ball Swerves, Deceives Fielders As Rohit Sharma Gets Lives

By IANS News September 04, 2021 • 22:04 PM View: 739

The ball seems to be swerving in the air for fielders as they are finding it difficult to take catches in the ongoing fourth Test at The Oval. The biggest beneficiary of this strange phenomenon was Indian opener Rohit Sharma.

The right-handed batsman, who batted grittily to see India go past England's deficit without being conquered, had got a life late on Friday evening when slip fieldsman Rory Burns misjudged a catch in a strange manner. As the edge from a James Anderson delivery flew off Sharma's bat, Burns looked to his right at the fielder next to him. The ball, however, came to Burns and hit his right foot.
