'Shorter than my new year resolutions': Fans react as Rohit Sharma falls for 1 in 3rd ODI after 100 in second

The 3rd and final ODI between India and England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad saw the visitors win the toss, opt to bowl, and claim an early wicket in the form of captain Rohit Sharma. The skipper, who smashed a century in the 2nd ODI, barely stayed at the crease in the final game, facing just two balls before departing for a single run, courtesy of Mark Wood's bowling and a sharp catch by wicketkeeper Philip Salt.

Rohit was caught on the crease with no option but to play at it, resulting in a thick outside edge behind. Philip Salt dived to his right and took a fine catch. With this dismissal, Rohit will have to wait to reach the milestone of 11,000 runs in ODIs.
