As the India captain held onto the catch he was swarmed by his teammates, sparking a jubilation, who rushed to congratulate him. His incredible catch had Bangladesh teetering, with five wickets down and only 148 runs on the board.

Fans bearly had time to recover from Rohit's stunner when Mohammed Siraj pulled off an incredible catch to dismiss Shakib Al Hasan. This stunning fielding came hot on the heels of Rohit's breathtaking catch to send Litton Das back to the pavilion, sending Indian fans into raptures.

Watch the stunning catch here:

Shakib Al Hasan attempted to smash Ashwin out of the park but mistimed the shot. Initially, Siraj seemed to misjudge the catch, yet he remarkably recovered, leaping into the air with his hands stretched backward, and secured the ball with a one-handed grab.

Talking about the play on Day 4, Bangladesh yielded three early wickets early morning as play restarted after rain washed out play on Saturday and Sunday.
