Fielding has become a crucial facet of the modern-day game. It is with the help of fielding only that a powerfully struck cover drive can be converted into a dismissal.

Something similar happened today with India opener, Lokesh Rahul. Been included in the team in place of Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul was looking set for a big one today. But, Dasun Shanaka’s excellence on the field turned tables for Rahul.

Rahul was the second Indian batsman to be dismissed after Rohit Sharma. He scored 24 (18) with the help of three fours. Watch the video of his dismissal:
