In India’s 23-run win over Zimbabwe to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match T20I series, Ravi Bishnoi’s screamer of a catch to dismiss Zimbabwe top-order batter Brian Bennett dominated the post-game talk, with his team-mates Avesh Khan, Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh left in awe of his superb effort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In chasing 183, Bennett went for a cut off Avesh, but Bishnoi timed his jump well to complete a stunning catch, with both hands, at backward point in the fourth over. After the wonderful catch was completed, Bishnoi was mobbed by his elated teammates, congratulating him on producing a moment that will be talked about for a long time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"When he took the catch, I don't think he got the reaction time. We also in the field did not get the reaction time. We ourselves were shocked at how he took that catch. He is a very good fielder and works a lot on his fielding. The catch that he took, the scoreboard will show that it was taken by me, but it should be credited to his account," said Avesh in a video posted on bcci.tv.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Washington, who took 3-15 with his off-spin bowling, described how he had the best view for seeing Bishnoi’s catch. "First of all, it was a great opportunity for me to stand at mid-on and have a clear view of whatever happened throughout the catch and that particular ball. It went at rocket speed and Bishnoi, that rocket speed was there."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rinku added that he wasn’t surprised over Bishnoi pulling that kind of catch. "It was an outstanding catch. It's not that he has taken such a catch for the first time. He has taken several outstanding catches in international cricket and IPL."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A pleased Gill, the Indian skipper on this tour of Zimbabwe, said, "First of all, very happy with the team's win to go 2-1 up in the series and the catch that Bishi took was absolutely remarkable.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“It was truly delightful to watch. Cricket is definitely a team sport and it's more so a team sport when you're fielding. So, it's very important to have fun when you are fielding. If you are having fun, then you are always in the game."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
