Do you know what is a more beautiful sight for a batsman than the ball going over the ropes for a maximum? Seeing the umpire signal a no-ball after he has nicked one behind to the keeper. However, Rohit Sharma didnā€™t wait to see it and kept walking and needed Virat to Kohli call him back.

The India-Windies ODI series came to an end in the most ant-climactic manner possible. After a harmless Windies series went on to level the series 1-1 on Indian soil, most had expected the visitors to pose a strong fight in the series deciding ODI in Kerala. But, they were bundled for a meager 104 runs as India chased it down losing just one wicket in the process.

However, Indiaā€™s seemingly easy chase had a horrendous start when Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed when India had just tallied 6 runs. And although Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma jointly took the game home, the opener was prey to a stunning delivery by Oshane Thomas in the eighth over, which if given, could have made things complicated for the side.

To Rohitā€™s luck, Oshaneā€™s back of length saw his front foot going miles over the popping crease before taking Rohitā€™s edge and the umpire raised his hand almost immediately. Thomas couldnā€™t believe it and knelt down in despair as he knew that such a chance wasnā€™t coming anytime soon again.

A disappointed Sharma only had a look behind to see if the wicketkeeper collected it clean before starting his walk back the pavilion. Kohli, on the non-striker's end, had to then call him back waving his hand andĀ pointing that the umpire had dismissed the ball and Rohit had gotten a free hit.
