In a nail-biting encounter, frustration and elation collided on the cricket field as Rohit Sharma put an end to Aiden Markram's fiery innings with a sharp catch at mid-off. The tension reached its peak in the 31st over when Mohammed Siraj delivered a hard length ball that tempted Markram to go for the big shot. The South African batter managed height but not the distance, sending the ball skyward.

As the ball hung in the air, Rohit Sharma positioned himself perfectly at mid-off, anticipation etched on his face. In a swift move, he clutched the ball with precision, bringing an end to Markram's magnificent innings. However, the frustration of the game's intensity got the better of Rohit. In a rare display of emotion, he threw the ball on the turf in a momentary outburst.
