He had earlier acknowledged in his book that Rohit Sharma gives him 'nightmares'.
England pacer Mark Wood dismissed Rohit Sharma cheaply with a peach delivery during the ongoing IND vs ENG 3rd ODI in Ahmedabad.
Rohit, who was coming on the back of a stellar century in Cuttack had a short stay, managing just 1 run off 2 balls.
It was a sweet moment of revenge for Wood, who had earlier acknowledged in his book ‘The Wood Life’ that Rohit Sharma gives him ‘nightmares’.
The England fast bowler delivered an exceptional ball in the corridor of uncertainty at a speed of 142 kph. After pitching, the ball straightened, compelling Rohit to attempt a defensive shot. However, the Mumbai batter was caught on the crease, resulting in a thick outside edge.
Wicketkeeper Phil Salt reacted swiftly, diving to his right to complete a sharp catch, giving England a perfect start to the game.
