Two West Indies innings made a shocking turn as Yashasvi Jaiswal made an amazing catch to dismiss Shai Hope on the third day of the ongoing first Test at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The enchanting moment unfolded on the 21st of the West Indies innings.
Ravindra Jadeja delivered a short ball, Hope bounced his back foot and tried to play with him aiming for a neat cut shot. However, the ball took an unexpected bounce and flew higher than the West Indies wicketkeeper had expected. Yashasvi Jaiswal, stationed behind, responded quickly.
