At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia’s wicketkeeper Josh Inglis delivered one of the most remarkable moments of the IND vs AUS 2nd T20. He executed a spectacular diving catch to dismiss Shivam Dube off a sharp delivery from Xavier Bartlett.
The turning point came as India sought to accelerate in the middle overs. Dube, who had started to settle and aim for a late surge, faced a back-of-a-length ball that seamed away. Attempting a powerful shot, he edged it faintly.
Inglis, alert and anticipating movement behind the stumps, reacted instantly. With exceptional reflexes, he dived full-stretch to his left, taking the ball cleanly just above the ground.
“The athletic catch left the crowd at the MCG buzzing and commentators praising his exceptional reflexes and anticipation.”
This breakthrough stalled India’s momentum and rewarded Bartlett’s disciplined spell. It also underscored Inglis’ rising reputation as a reliable and agile wicketkeeper in limited-overs cricket.
Shivam Dube, known for his hitting prowess, appeared stunned as he exited, while Bartlett celebrated the key wicket with a roar, acknowledging Inglis’ brilliance.
