Rohit Sharma is now the first outfield player to take 60 or more catches in all formats of the game. As India limited visitors England at 218 on Day 1, Rohit achieved the feat after taking the catch of tail-ender Mark Wood courtesy of a brilliant delivery from Test veteran Ravichandran Ashwin on the day.
