India-Pakistan rivalry is always mouth-watering. It brings out the best from the players. There more to the match than a simple fact of winning and losing. The stadium’s always house full whenever both these team clash, be it any venue. The players are pumped up and do everything possible to get better of the opposition side. India met Pakistan on one such high-voltage game in 2007.

The match witnessed many great moments and one such moment was Rohit Sharma ’s outstanding one-handed catch at short point region. ‘Lazy Elegance’ is what Rohit Sharma is called in the cricketing world. When batting he looks completely effortless which makes him look very casual. But, on-field, he is quite agile.

The batsman fell due to his brilliant fielding effort was Salman Butt. The top order batsman, who likes to have a go at the bowlers right from the start, had chosen Praveen Kumar as his target. He constantly chose to aerial root to push the wing bowler n the backfoot. However, Kumar also kept it tight and challenged him and came close to getting him out at Deep but Ishant Sharma floundered a tough chance.

Butt, however, looked adamant and refused to give up his attacking approach. A couple of balls later, Butt slashed an away swinger brutally. Unfortunately, the ball found Rohit Sharma in its way. Sharma reacted to the quick shot swiftly and grabbed the ball one-handed to dismiss him.
