Rohit and Team India successfully dismiss Saud Shakeel. The delivery comes over the wicket with a well-pitched ball at the leg stump line. After pitching, the ball turns away, leaving Shakeel defending from the back foot. Despite his efforts, the ball sneaks past the inside edge and strikes him on the pads. The Indian team erupts with a strong appeal, but umpire Erasmus remains unmoved. Following a discussion involving Virat, Rahul, Jadeja, and Kuldeep, Rohit Sharma opts for a review and it's a successful one.
