India are up against West Indies in the third and final T20I of the series in Kolkata. West Indies opted to bowl first winning the toss and invited India to bat. Suryakumar Yadav scored a half-century for the team while Venkatesh Iyer also played a role of the finisher playing a crucial knock at the back end of the innings.
Defending the target, India started well as Deepak Chahar picked a couple of wickets in the powerplay before getting hurt. Nicholas Pooran was in good touch and his catch was dropped once in the innings. Pooran scored a half-century in the match and looked to take the game away from hosts.
In the 18th over of the innings Shardul Thakur bowled a slower delivery and Pooran tried to play a lofted shot towards long-on. He was deceived and ball went up miles in the air. Ishan called for the catch and timed his full length dive to perfection to grab it.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the incident.

What say!
In Shardul's stats a special column of the situation in which he takes wicket should be mentioned because the economy & number of wickets don't do justice to the player Lord Shardul is...what say 😅
