Team India made an eventful start in the fourth and final Test against Australia at the Gabba on Friday.
Rohit Sharma pulled off an outstanding catch at the second slip as Mohammed Siraj once again removed David Warner (1 off 4) cheaply, giving his team an early breakthrough.
Warner probably expected an inward movement from the ball, but it held its line to take a thick edge and Rohit did the rest in the slip cordon.
Soon, Shardul Thakur, who is playing his second Test match, sent the other opener Marcus Harris (5 off 23) back to the dressing.
At the end of the first session, Australia were 67/2 with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith rebuilding their innings.
Here is the video of Rohit Sharma’s sharp catch:
