Rohit Sharma Argues with Umpire; Gets DRS Call To Dismiss Jacob Bethell Spot On [WATCH]

India skipper Rohit Sharma gave a testament to his brilliant cricketing mind by taking a DRS call spot-on during the ongoing IND vs ENG 1st ODI in Nagpur.

The incident happened during the 43rd over of England’s innings. On the fourth ball, Ravindra Jadeja had managed to trap Jacob Bethell lbw.

With the on-field umpire turning down the initial appeal, Rohit Sharma chose to refer it upstairs but only before a slight argument with the umpire.

Rohit’s call eventually turned out to be right, as Bethell, who had just completed his half-century had to walk back to the pavilion for 51(64).

In the process, Ravindra Jadeja also became the bowler with most wickets in IND vs ENG ODI history.

Jadeja, Rana takes three each to bundle out England under 250

Speaking about the match, apart from Bethell’s wicket, Jadeja got the scalps of Joe Root and Adil Rashid. On the other hand, debutant Harshit Rana also took a three-wicket haul as the hosts bundled out the Three Lions for 248 in 47.4 overs.

Earlier, England were off to a fiery start with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett stitching a 75-run partnership before they lost wickets in a cluster, reeling at 77 for 3.

Skipper Jos Buttler did the rebuilding and slammed a deft half-century with a 52 off 67 and apart from Bethell’s 50, there were barely any meaningful contributions as England lost their next five wickets for just 78 runs.

In other news, India had to bench Virat Kohli due to a sore right-knee which gave young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal a chance to earn his ODI debut.
