Twitter reacts to Shafiul Islam’s ‘priceless’ send off to Rohit Sharma

Bangladesh set out to tour India at the start of the month without their captain Shakib Al Hasan in the side. But the way they started their tour could be summed up by their win in the first T20I in Delhi. In that game, too, Rohit was dismissed early and Bangladesh went to win the game by seven wickets. In the 2nd T20I, much to the visitors’ discontent, Rohit hammered a 43-ball 85 to steer India to an eight-wicket victory. Needless to say, Rohit’s wicket is monumental in any limited-overs game.

Bowling the second over of India’s innings, in the 3rd T20I at Rajkot, Shafiul Islam got rid of Rohit in just his third delivery. Rohit’s was termed ‘lazy’ by the commentators as the batsman tried to flick the length ball on the off stump he and ended up angling the ball with an inside edge onto the stumps. Hence, getting the leg stump uprooted completely. Shafiul, rejoicing the wicket gave a ‘priceless’ and intense reaction to it. Staring deep into the eyes of the batsman, the bowler roared in celebration.

The next three deliveries were faced by the new batsman KL Rahul, who failed to open his account and Shafiul ended up bowling the first maiden over of the series!

Woah!! Brilliant by Shafiul Islam!

Yup! Looked like a Lazy shot.  

Hahahaha!! Lol.

And also a maiden wicket for Shafiul Islam!

He is proving himself today!

Great delivery by Shafiul!!
