Video: Rohit Sharma's Oops Moment On The Field After Missing Crucial Catch

Rohit Sharma had an awkward moment on the field after dropping a catch from Ruturaj Gaikwad during the IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. During the 12th over of the CSK innings, Gaikwad slogged a delivery from Akash Madhwal to deep mid-wicket and it looked like Rohit was positioned well to take the catch. The former MI skipper ran to his right and even pulled off a dive but the ball did not stick to his hands and spilled out at the last moment. To make matters worse, Rohit's trousers came off for a moment leaving the crowd and commentators in splits.

Coming to the match, Rohit's hundred went in vain as Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 20 runs. Chasing 207, MI kept losing wickets at regular intervals and although Rohit slammed a brilliant century, the hosts fell well short of the target to suffer their fourth loss of the competition.

"It (target) was definitely gettable, but they bowled pretty well. Pathirana was the difference. They were smart with the plans and their approach. They got the hang of it, there's a man behind the stumps (Dhoni) who tells them what's working, and that helps. It (pitch) was holding up a bit and getting difficult."

"It was about batting well and keeping the intent. We were going quite well (in the run chase) till Pathirana came into the attack and took those two wickets. It was about what is best at that time, we could have done something different. I like to play percentage cricket, it would have been difficult for him (Dube) against seamers rather than spin. We are on the road for the next four games, need to play good cricket, need to keep the intensity high," MI skipper Hardik Pandya said after the defeat.

UK Man Who Couldn't Read Or Write Until Age 18 Becomes Cambridge Professor

Jason Arday was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and global development delay in his early years. He was unable to speak until he was 11 years old and could not read or write until he was 18. Now at the age of 37, he is about to become the youngest black person ever appointed to a professorship at the University of Cambridge, BBC reported. Eight years ago, Mr Arday was told that he would likely need to stay in an assisted living facility. The man refused to make that a reality. He used to write his lifelong goals on his mother's bedroom wall. He wrote that he wants to "work at Oxford or Cambridge." Mr Arday was born and raised in Clapham, southwest London. "As optimistic as I am, there's just no way I could have thought that would have happened. If I was a betting person, the odds on it were so long. It's just mad," he told The Times of UK . He admitted that he had "no idea" what he was doing when he first began writing academic paper
