Rohit Sharma and Prasidh Krishna combined to produce a rare feat during the third ODI against Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. The experienced opener grabbed three catches at first slip, while Prasidh Krishna accounted for all three wickets in a sensational opening spell.
The Indian pacer ripped through Afghanistan's top order after the visitors elected to bat first. Interestingly, all three dismissals came through the same Rohit Sharma-Prasidh Krishna combination, creating a unique hat-trick of catches and wickets in the opening eight overs of the contest.
Prasidh Krishna made an immediate impact by dismissing Rahmanullah Gurbaz with the very first ball of his spell. The right-arm pacer found just enough movement outside off stump as Gurbaz pushed at the delivery, only to edge it straight to Rohit Sharma at first slip.
The duo struck again in the sixth over. Prasidh bowled a testing back-of-a-length delivery to Rahmat Shah, who attempted to work the ball towards the leg side. However, the Afghanistan batter only managed a leading edge, and Rohit completed another sharp catch.
The unique hat-trick was completed in the eighth over when Ibrahim Zadran became Prasidh's third victim. Looking to drive on the up, Ibrahim edged the ball to first slip, where Rohit safely pouched his third catch of the innings.
As a result, Rohit and Prasidh scripted a rare triple combination, with all three Afghanistan wickets falling in identical fashion through catches at first slip.
