Indian captain Rohit Sharma put up an incredible fielding effort, as he nearly grabbed a stunning catch in the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand. The high-voltage clash in Dubai witnessed Rohit's fielding attributes, with the Indian captain nearly pulling off a remarkable catch. 

Kohli Stunned As Rohit's Brilliant Effort Goes In Vain

The incident occurred during the 35th over of New Zealand's innings when Daryl Mitchell was trying to steady the ship with all-rounder Glenn Phillips. Indian spinner Axar Patel created a golden opportunity to get rid of Mitchell, but Rohit put down the catch despite a magnificent effort. 

From over the wicket, Patel bowled an arm ball around the good length, as Mitchell tried to muscle it over the in-field. However, Rohit Sharma showcased commendable athleticism, trying to grab a stunning catch at short mid wicket. 

As soon as the ball popped out of Rohit's hands, former Indian captain Virat Kohli expressed his disappointment with an animated reaction. 

Although Rohit couldn't hold on to the catch, his tremendous effort earned him massive praise from fans and experts.
