Rohit Sharma once again got off to an explosive start in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

But a stellar catch from Travis Head silenced the Ahmedabad crowd as the India skipper fell just three short of his half-century.

After hammering Glenn Maxwell for back-to-back boundaries, Rohit miscued the fourth ball of the tenth over as he skewed it high into the off-side. Head, running in back from cover takes a diving catch as the Ahmedabad crowd is silenced. A big moment in the match, Rohit departed for a 31-ball 47 as Head’s effort will go down as one of the stellar catches of the World Cup.

Here’s a look at Head’s wicket-taking effort:
