Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis delivered a spectacular diving catch to dismiss India's all-rounder Shivam Dube during the second T20I on Friday, October 31, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The catch occurred in India's innings during the ongoing five-match series between Australia and India. Team India faced early difficulties after being sent in to bat, losing half their team for just 49 runs within 7.3 overs.
Josh Hazlewood impressed with a disciplined new ball spell, dismantling India’s top order. A surprising decision saw Harshit Rana promoted ahead of Shubman Gill in the batting lineup.
Dube’s time at the crease was brief. He earned a boundary off his first ball but was dismissed on the very next delivery. Xavier Bartlett exploited extra bounce and movement, tempting Dube into an uncertain poke outside off stump. The edge flew left of Inglis, who executed a brilliant diving catch.
“Dube walked back to the dressing room for 4 off 2 balls, leaving India seven down.”
The catch quickly became a highlight, shared widely on social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter).
