Rohit Sharma SURVIVES LBW Scare Thanks to Umpire's Call, Bangladesh Lose Early DRS in Chennai

Ind vs Ban: India captain Rohit Sharma survived a leg-before scare in the first 30 minutes of the 1st Test in Chennai. Put into bat first in overcast conditions with the ball seaming and swinging, Rohit was trapped in front to a delivery that jagged back in of a length from Hasan Mahmud. The umpire did not raise his finger and one may have thought it is because the Indian captain may have got a bat on that. But then, the visitor's opted for the DRS, which showed that the ball did not hit the bat. No bat, confirmed by UltraEdge and ball-tracking showed it was to be clipping top of middle (umpire's call)! Rohit had survived. 

Just after the episode, fans started reacting to it on social space. 

But unfortunately, Rohit did not make the most of it as he perished soon after for six off 19 balls. Hasan Mahmud eventually got the wicket. 

"I would have done that as well (bowl first). Little soft, the pitch. It's going to be challenging conditions. We have prepared well, so we should back our potential and play the way we know. Looking at the 10 Test matches, every match is important," a confident Rohit had said at the toss.
