After winning the toss, the Indian skipper opted to bowl first and the bowlers spat fire from the word ‘Go’. Half the England team was back in the hut even before the first powerplay got over as the Indian bowlers were in their element. Chasing an easy target of 111, the Indian openers were clinical in their approach and during the process, Rohit Sharma’s six hit a girl who was in the stands.
The Indian skipper looked in great touch as he set off to chase a small target of 111. The batsman played his pull shots freely and looked at ease while pulling the ball. It was during the fifth over that the incident happened where Rohit Sharma’s six hit a small Indian fan. The third delivery of the over by David Willey was a tad too short and Rohit swivelled across to hook the ball which hit the young Indian fan.
