India vs England, Day 4, 2nd Test 2024 Scorecard

Despite entering the match with a depleted squad due to the absence of key players, India rebounded impressively after their unexpected loss in Hyderabad a week ago. The victory over England’s Bazballers was secured with a comfortable margin. Although England mounted a spirited effort, their frequent loss of wickets prevented them from getting dangerously close. Nevertheless, they managed to achieve the second-highest fourth-innings total by a visiting team in India, adding a noteworthy chapter to the match after falling 106 runs short of the target.

Here are the India vs England 2nd Test highlights of the Day 4:

1. Rohit Sharma defies reflex arcs to dismiss Ollie pope 

In the 29th over, Ravichandran Ashwin delivered a just-short-of-length ball targeting the off stump. Ollie Pope attempted a forceful back-foot shot, but only managed a thick outside edge towards first slip, where captain Rohit Sharma was stationed. Despite the ball flying past him, Rohit showcased remarkable reflexes, moving his hands in sync with the ball’s trajectory and securing a sharp catch on his left side. Television replays later revealed that Rohit completed the catch within a mere 0.45 seconds of Pope’s edge, showcasing his agility and alertness on the field.
