Hardik Pandya once again stole the spotlight during India’s second T20I against Bangladesh in Delhi on Wednesday, executing a spectacular running catch to dismiss Rishad Hossein.
Chasing a formidable target of 221 runs, Bangladesh struggled from the outset, losing wickets quickly.
Arshdeep Singh initiated the collapse, with every Indian bowler contributing to the rout as Bangladesh stumbled to 83-6.
Veteran Mahmudullah managed to provide some stability, but wickets continued to fall around him. After already making a catch earlier in the match, Pandya showcased his athleticism again in the 14th over.
Varun Chakravarthy bowled to Rishad Hossein, who sent the ball soaring toward long-on. Pandya sprinted from deep mid-wicket, leaping to make a stunning catch while rolling to avoid touching the boundary line.
Athleticism at its best! 😎
