WATCH: Drop Catch, Six, Fifty, all in one ball! Rohit Sharma brings up 30th ODI fifty in style

New Delhi: Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma took India off to a flying start against Sri Lanka in their second Group B match of the ICC Champions Trophy at the Oval. While Dhawan went on to secure his 10th ODI century, Rohit was dismissed for an impressive 78 from 79 balls. (IND vs SL - Live Blog | Full Coverage)

From all the boundaries or shots Rohit played, the six to reach his 30th half-century especially stood out. As Rohit went for the big one to complete his fifty, he was first dropped by the fielder on the leg side, subsequently the ball crossed the rope for a six, and seeing the rather odd turn of event, the Mumbai batsman couldn't stop but laugh at the whole scenario.
