Attempting a pull shot on the fifth delivery of the fifth over, Rohit skyed the ball inside the 30-yard circle. As Mohammed Siraj, the bowler responsible for inducing the top edge, went for the catch, wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik was trying to get set.
The two players tripped over each other and blew a golden opportunity due to poor coordination. Karthik went for the catch because he was closer to it and must have felt confident about pulling off the same with his wicket-keeping gloves, but Siraj also fancied his chances, and the collision between them helped Rohit’s cause as he survived the scare.
