In the fourth over of Zimbabwe’s chase, after India had posted 182 for 4 on the board, Brian Bennett (4) played a fierce cut shot against avesh khan that flew to the point region at a rate of knotts.But just when it appeared that the ball will burst through the hands of Ravi Bishnoi, the legspinner timed his jump to perfection and pulled off a stunning grab.
THE CATCH
It reduced Zimbabwe to 19 for 3, and the hosts couldn’t recover enough to get their chase back on track despite Dio Myers 49-ball 65 not out. Washington Sundar’s 3 for 15 eventually led India’s bowling charts to restrict Zimbabwe to 159 for 6.
The BCCI released a video the day after the match, showcasing the reaction of Indian players to Bishnoi’s catch, where Avesh said the wicket should actually be credited to Bishnoi’s statistics instead of his and Sundar said he enjoyed viewing the catch from mid-on.
