India are on the verge of yet another series win as they showed their might during the 2nd T20I against Bangladesh. Hardik Pandya left the visiting side speechless as he took a tumbling catch to get rid of Rishad Hossain.
The incident happened in the 3rd ball of the 14th over of the Bangladeshi innings. Rishad Hossain went for a huge swipe across the line against Varun Chakravarthy. Pandya came running across the midwicket region and took the catch. Indian all-rounder tumbled across the ground to complete the catch.
What made it even more special was the fact that the catch was taken in front of Indian fielding coach T. Dilip. This catch also meant that the 30-year-old was the favourite to win the best fielder of the day. Indian cricket team has started a trend of giving medals to the best fielding efforts of the day.
