India all-rounder Vijay Shankar took a stunning catch in the deep to dismiss Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja in the first ODI at Rajiv Gand😼hi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday.
The incident occurred on the final ball of the 24th over. Khawaja came out of his crease to hit a Kuldeep Yadav delivery over mid-wicket into the stands. The left-h༺ander made decent contact with the ball but got his p🐈lacement wrong.
Shankar, who was fielding at deep mi✱d-wicket, ran to his right and then slid on the ground to complete a brilliant catch.
“This is Vijay Shankar’s wicket, not so much Kuldeep Yadav,” Sunil Gavaskar was heard saying on air. Also, in the background, delirious fans applauded Shankar’s effort.
