The second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is played in Delhi. Two days have been completed in this match. By the end of the second day, Australia had scored 61 runs in their second innings on the loss of 1 wicket. In this, the team’s starting batsman, Usman Khawaja, returned to the pavilion after scoring 6 runs. Shreyas Iyer helped Khawaja show the way to the pavilion with a brilliant catch. Video of this great catch by Iyer is going wildly viral on social media.
You can call this capture of Iyer the best capture of the series. This incident occurred on the fifth ball of the sixth over. Earlier, Usman Khawaja hit a four on the fourth ball. The cap came out from under the eyes of KL Rahul who was fielding. Following this, on Jadeja’s next ball, Usman Khawaja attempted a paddle sweep, but Shreyas Iyer, fielding into the leg ravine, caught the ball brilliantly and made him walk.
In the video, Shreyas Iyer, who was out in the field, can be seen walking up to the thin leg and taking the catch while diving. During this, Iyer had very little time, but he caught this catch showing agility.
