India’s skipper Rohit Sharma found himself in a funny situation as his trousers fell off while fielding for Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2024 match at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
The incident happened in the 12th over of CSK’s innings when Akash Madhwal delivered a short-length ball to Ruturaj Gaikwad, who sent it flying towards deep mid-wicket.
As Rohit dashed to his right and dove to grab the catch with both hands, his trousers unexpectedly slipped off, though he managed to save three runs for his team.
This incident has sparked a wave of memes among fans. Let’s check out a few of the best ones.
Regarding the match, CSK, after being asked to bat first by MI’s skipper, posted a total of 206/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s crucial 69-run knock and Shivam Dube’s unbeaten 66 off 38 balls were instrumental in their innings.
Furthermore, MS Dhoni’s arrival saw him dispatching Hardik Pandya for three consecutive sixes, which played a big role in the outcome of the game as the arch-rivals Mumbai Indians fell exactly 20 runs short of the target.
