A bird? A flying saucer? No, it’s Mohammed Siraj – Watch India pacer take a one-handed stunner

The visitors are currently on top with West Indies struggling at 107 for 5 as the second session is ongoing.

West Indies made a steady start in the match with Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Kraigg Brathwaite, but Ravichandran Ashwin gave India the breakthrough.

And soon after that, the West Indies batting crumbled as they lost wickets in regular intervals. It was a decent bit of bowling by Ashwin, Jadeja and others, but it is a stunning catch which has been the talking point of the Test match so far.

In the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja, West Indies batter Jermaine Blackwood hit one straight down the ground. He didn’t time it too well but looked enough to clear the field. But as the ball was sailing, out came Mohammed Siraj from mid-off and plucked an outstanding catch.

The pacer went full-in stretch and took a one-handed masterpiece to complete a terrific grab. In the process, he also bruised his elbow a bit as the commentators were in awe after that brilliant piece of fielding from the Indian pacer.

Ravichandran Ashwin at mid-on came rushing to the player who was flat lying on the ground after the impact, but it looks like the player hasn’t damaged anything significant.

India have dismissed half of the Caribbean side so far as Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin have picked up 2 wickets each, while the odd one has been picked up by Shardul Thakur.

The team management handed two debuts in the match as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan are playing their first-ever Test match. Kishan has also played a part as the Indian keeper has picked up two catches so far.
