Team India captain Rohit Sharma suffered one of the most unfortunate dismissals on day three of the second Test at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, leaving the crowd shocked. The spectators held their hands on their heads as the ball trickled onto the stumps despite the right-hander playing a solid forward defensive shot as a video of the same surfaced on social media.

The dismissal occurred in the 22nd over of the innings as Ajaz Patel pitched the ball on a length and Rohit came forward to play a defensive shot. However, the ball hit the inside edge of the bat and trickled onto the stumps. While the crowd at the Chinnaswamy Stadium was stunned, the veteran opening batter donned a dejected look.

Below is the video of the same:

India dig in after New Zealand amass 356-run lead:

Meanwhile, India were left with a massive task of scoring 356 runs to make New Zealand bat again in the first Test. While the hosts chipped away with the wickets of Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell, and Glenn Phillips. However, Tim Southee and Rachin Ravindra swung things the Kiwis' way as New Zealand's lead stood on the brink of 300.

Ravindra got to the magical three-figure mark with a boundary off Ravichandran Ashwin, while Southee smacked a brisk 65. Ravindra hammered some quick runs before eventually falling for 134 off 157 deliveries. Should the Black Caps win it will be their first Test victory on Indian soil since 1988.
