Seeing this catch of Ramandeep, everyone will forget…he did a miracle with one hand in front of the Pakistani dugout. – Read

Fitness is given a lot of importance in Indian cricket, the effect of which is visible not only in good batting and bowling but also in agile fielding. The effect of this revolution in fitness and fielding in Team India has been visible at the domestic level as well and this is the reason why players are showing excellence in fielding even before joining the senior team. A spectacular sight of this was seen during the India-Pakistan match in the Emerging Asia Cup, when India A player Ramandeep Singh surprised everyone present in the stadium with a surprising catch.

India A and Pakistan A were face to face on Saturday 18 October in this tournament being played in Muscat, the capital of Oman. In response to the target of 184 runs given by Team India, Pakistan had lost 2 wickets early, after which Qasim Akram and Yasir Khan made a strong partnership and made the Pakistani team comeback. In such a situation, Team India seemed to be lagging behind in the match and was looking for a wicket. For this, a miracle was needed and that miracle came not in bowling but in fielding.

Dive catch with one hand

Left arm spinner Nishant Sindhu came to bowl in the 9th over. The very first ball of his over was pulled by Yasir Khan. The ball was seen going towards the deep midwicket boundary for 4 runs but then Ramandeep reached there with the speed of a leopard and created a sensation by taking a long jump and taking the catch with his right hand. The Pakistani batsmen present at the crease were stunned. The most special thing was that Ramandeep took this catch right in front of the dug outs of India and Pakistan. The Pakistani captain was also sitting there and no one could believe their eyes. The spectators were also surprised to see this catch and there was an uproar in the stadium.

Got second wicket soon

With this catch, Ramandeep broke the 54-run partnership and dismissed the set batsman. The effect of this was that the second set batsman Qasim Akram also made a mistake. On the fifth ball of the same over by Sindhu, Qasim tried to play a big shot but gave an easy catch at the boundary. This is how Team India returned. Earlier, batting first, the Indian team had scored 183 runs losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Tilak Verma scored the maximum 44 runs for Team India but the most effective innings were played by openers Abhishek Sharma (35) and Prabhsimran Singh (36). Both of them made a partnership of 68 runs in the power play itself.
