In the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 match between India and England in Lucknow, the stadium witnessed a pivotal moment as Rohit Sharma, the Indian opener, fell agonizingly short of his century. It was Adil Rashid, the crafty English leg-spinner, who managed to outfox the batting maestro. Rohit Sharma had been steadily accumulating runs, inching closer to his hundred, when the decisive moment arrived.

With the tension mounting, Rohit Sharma decided to take the aerial route, attempting a powerful slog off Rashid's delivery. However, his timing was slightly off, resulting in the ball connecting with the inside half of his bat. The ball soared towards the deep mid-wicket region, and the hush in the stadium reflected the anticipation in the air. Liam Livingstone, stationed at the boundary, showed exceptional athleticism and commitment. He sprinted in and executed a graceful slide to complete the catch.
The catch was nothing short of sensational, but it came at a cost. As Livingstone slid to grasp the ball, his knee got lodged in the outfield, causing a piece of the grass to come loose. The English all-rounder winced in pain, holding his right knee, and the medical team rushed to his aid.
While Rohit Sharma walked back to the pavilion, just 13 runs short of a well-deserved century, at the time of writing Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja are taking charge at the crease with 172/5
