in Mumbai on Thursday.
The incident happened on the second ball of the 12th over of the innings when off-spinner

Will Jacks

bowled a fuller delivery on the middle and leg and Rohit went for a sweep while dragging it behind square, but an alert Topley dived to his left and plucked a one-handed stunner right at the end of his fingers at short fine leg.


Rohit, who scored 38 off 24 balls with the help of three fours and as many sixes, gave Mumbai Indians a terrific start, in chase of 197, with his opening partner
