Pakistan’s pace sensation Shaheen Afridi produced a moment of magic in the ICC Champions Trophy clash against India, dismissing captain Rohit Sharma with a stunning delivery in Dubai. Rohit, who was looking in fine touch, managed 20 runs before Shaheen bowled him with what is being called the best ball of the tournament so far.

Shaheen Afridi’s Magic Ball Stuns Rohit Sharma

The dismissal came in the fifth over of India’s innings when Pakistan needed a breakthrough to stop the opening stand of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Shaheen Afridi, bowling from over the wicket, delivered a full-length ball that pitched around the middle stump and jagged back in sharply.

Rohit, completely beaten by the late swing, saw his stumps uprooted in spectacular fashion. The Indian captain had to walk back after scoring 20 off 15 balls.
