Rohit Sharma literally flew as he grabbed a stunning catch in the covers region to prevent New Zealand batter Finn Allen from completing a half-century. After an early hiccup in the slips, which saw Rohit drop an easy catch off Will Young, he produced a stunner to dismiss Allen for 41 runs off the bowling of Axar Patel. Seeing Rohit pull off such a blinder, Axar sprinted over and wrapped the veteran in a massive hug with a wide grin spread across his face.

At the other end, Finn Allen dropped his head and angrily punched his bat in sheer disappointment. He had no option but to leave the pitch without crossing the 50-run mark.

As for the delivery, it was a good-length ball drifting outside off, prompting Allen to hop onto the back foot for a punch. However, he could not keep it down, and Rohit judged the trajectory to perfection.

Rohit, who had triggered a debate over his sharpness in the field after dropping the earlier catch of Young, certainly silenced his critics with that effort. Fans on social media couldn't believe their eyes as they saw Rohit produce a stunner.

Young went on to score a century after being dropped on 5 runs twice-once by Rohit and on the other occasion by wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan in the second over of the innings. India started off on a sloppy note early in the game, denying pacer Auqib Nabi quick breakthroughs in the fourth ODI. Rohit failed to hold onto an outside edge at first slip off the fifth delivery, before Ishan spilled another edge on the very next ball.

Rohit has not had the best of the series so far, scoring just 23 runs in the first two matches against New Zealand, while the third ODI was washed out without a single ball being bowled.

With a question mark still hanging over his place in the Indian team for the ODI World Cup next year, the "Hitman" needs to do more to assure the selectors that he is the perfect fit for the second opener's spot.
