He covered up to 27 meters in a few seconds and also maintained his balance to avoid injury after completing the catch, giving India another breakthrough.
Hardik Pandya took a sensational catch to send back Rishad Hossain in the third delivery of the 14th over. It was a very well-timed catch and Hardik made it look easy, although it wasn’t that easy.
Varun Chakravarthy bowled a long delivery, to which the batsman tried to take a slow sweep but could not get the required lift. Hardik immediately ran towards the left from the deep midwicket region and advanced with both hands.
As the ball almost slipped out of his hands, Hardik showed excellent reflexes and managed to catch it as it fell, although he was slightly off balance. After completing the catch, momentum was carrying him toward the boundary, but he made sure to slide horizontally to avoid touching the boundary.
