Sri Lanka vs India, 1st ODI: Rohit Sharma's epic run-out becomes a hilarious meme

21 August 2017, 13:12 IST

Virat Kohli-led team India thrashed Sri Lanka by 9 wickets in the first ODI match riding on Shikhar Dhawan's stunning century and Kohli's impressive half-century.

While Dhawan (132*) and Kohli (82*) guided India past the victory mark, it was opener Rohit Sharma's hilarious run-out that attracted the attention of Twitter parade most.

Right-handed batsman Sharma was run-out by Chamara Kapugedara in the most bizarre way possible on field. Sharma ran for a run and his bat got stuck to the ground. He was forced to enter the crease without a bat and as the bat slipped from his hand just before crossing the line. Even after putting all efforts, Sharma ji ka beta failed in saving his wickets.
