Just minutes before South Africa began their chase in the 2nd ODI in Raipur, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant gave fans the most wholesome moment of the day.Standing near the boundary rope during the innings break, Pant (who was not playing the match) spotted a fallen eyelash on Rohit’s cheek.
With the care of a younger brother, he gently removed it, placed it on the back of Rohit’s hand and told him to make a wish. Rohit broke into his trademark grin, closed his eyes for a second, blew the eyelash away and completed the little ritual. Pure bromance, caught perfectly on camera, and the clip instantly melted hearts across social media.Earlier, India had piled up a mammoth 358/5 after being sent in for the 20th straight ODI. Virat Kohli continued his unreal run, smashing 102 off 93 balls – his 53rd ODI hundred and second successive ton of the series – to go past Sachin Tendulkar for most centuries at a single batting position. Ruturaj Gaikwad celebrated his maiden ODI century (105 off 83), while KL Rahul, leading the side in Rohit’s absence, blazed an unbeaten 66 off 43 to finish things off.
