Ind vs Aus: Moments later, the replays showed that the ball was crashing onto the stumps. It meant had Australia taken the review, Rohit would have been back in the hut.
Indore: Who would have believed India captain Rohit Sharma would edge the first ball of a Test match and then a review will not be taken by the opposition? Yes, it happened during the third Test at Indore on Wednesday. If that was not enough, Rohit was wrapped on his pads of the next ball. What Australia did was they did not take the DRS. Moments later, the replays showed that the ball was crashing onto the stumps. It meant had Australia taken the review, Rohit would have been back in the hut.
Here is how fans reacted to the development:
Aise Luck mile to Vijay Shankar ka bhi 10 100 hota aaj…
This is the only difference between Rohit Sharma and an ordinary batsman….

Meanwhile, Rohit could not make the most of the reprieve as he perished for 12 off 23 balls. Kuhnemann got the big wicket of the Indian skipper.
“It is a pretty good dressing room and like you said the morale is high. The guys are confident about their skills which is a good thing moving forward. We have played a lot of cricket (here) but this one (surface) is slightly different. Looks little dry and you have to adapt your skills and be at it all the time. We are there yet (WTC final) and we have to come and win this game, we have to try and repeat the things we did in the first two Tests,” Rohit said at the toss.
