After two days of no play, due to rain and wet outfield, proceedings resumed in the opening session of Day 4 of the second and final Test between India and Bangladesh on Monday (Sep 30).
As Bangladesh resumed from 107-3, being put into bat, Indian captain Rohit Sharma made heads turn as he took a one-handed stunner to remove Litton Das off Mohammed Siraj's bowling. In the fourth delivery of the 50th over, bowled by Siraj, Litton danced down the track and timed the ball towards mid-off, where Rohit was stationed. Hitman timed his jump to perfection and kept an eye on the ball as he grabbed the catch with one hand. Here is the immaculate effort from the Indian captain to get rid of Litton:  
    As per the on-air commentator Dinesh Karthik, India had set a bouncer trap to dismiss Litton. However, Siraj bluffed by bowling a length delivery around off as the Bangladeshi batter stepped out and gave it a good hit. Nonetheless, he didn't find the desired elevation as Rohit jumped and plucked a screamer at mid-off. At lunch on Day 4, Bangladesh are 205 for 6 with former captain Mominul Haque unbeaten on 102. India will depend on R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah to dismiss Bangladesh's lower order in a flash. Before the break, the visitors lost Shakib Al Hasan, with Siraj taking a good catch off Ashwin, and the onus now firmly lies on centurion Haque to take the visitors' score post 250. Notably, 98 overs will be bowled on the penultimate day, on Monday, after rain disrupted the series decider significantly. India lead the two-match series 1-0 following a 280-run win in Chennai.
