Gripped & missed: Evin Lewis displays stunning reflexes as he denies Rohit a 6 at Wankhede

In the final T20 match between India and West Indies at Wankhede, ace opener, Evin Lewis displayed a stunning show of fielding as he denied Rohit Sharma a boundary in the fifth over. The Indian opener had slogged Pierre's second delivery, only to find Lewis jump high and grip the ball. However, Lewis had to release the ball to avoid a boundary, eventually granting Rohit Sharma a lifeline. Meanwhile, Sharma who was busy ball-watching was pushed by KL Rahul from the other end for a double and had to dive long to survive the run-out as well. The deciding match of the series, which is currently underway, witnessed India get off to the flyer as the openers' blitzkrieg helped India post 72 in the first six overs without losing a wicket.
