India captain Rohit Sharma once again proved his astute captaincy skills as the team bounced back from a weather-related setback in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh to clinch a series-sealing win.

On the 5th day, Rohit came up with an exquisite plan to dismiss Bangladesh's Mominul Haque, the team's top-scoring batter in the first innings. Rohit's masterplan even impressed Sunil Gavaskar, who was doing commentary during that phase of play.
