[WATCH]-Prasidh Krishna Makes Instant Impact, Rohit Sharma Completes Brilliant Catch in IND vs AFG 3rd ODI.

India veteran Rohit Sharma took a sharp catch as fast bowler Prasidh Krishna struck with the very first ball of his spell to dismiss Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the third and final ODI on Saturday, June 20, at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium.

The wicket came on the first ball of the second over. Krishna bowled a length delivery outside the off stump that moved away after pitching. Gurbaz went for a drive through the covers but got a thick outside edge, and Rohit made no mistake with a fine catch at first slip.
