Shoaib Bashir, the 19-year-old off-spinner, had a dream start to his Test career as he clinched the prized wicket of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on the opening day of the second Test between India and England in Visakhapatnam. Bashir's ecstatic moment came in just his fourth over, dismissing Rohit for a modest 14 runs. While Rohit's departure seemed like a setback for India, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive partnership reshaped the innings, with Jaiswal leading the charge with an impressive half-century. Bashir's early breakthrough set the stage for England's dominance as they sought to capitalize on India's initial struggle.
