Australian captain Pat Cummins once again displayed his class on the field with a spectacular caught and bowled dismissal during the second Test match against the West Indies at St George’s, Grenada.
The key moment came when Cummins came into the attack and bowled a sharp, well-directed delivery to Keacy Carty, who was trying to settle in after scoring 6 runs off 12 balls. Carty prodded forward in defence, but the ball took a thick inside edge, struck his front pad, and popped up gently in the air. Cummins, showing quick reflexes and excellent anticipation, dived forward and low to his right to complete a stunning one-handed catch, just inches from the turf.
The dismissal was a timely breakthrough for Australia and further underlined Cummins’ all-round ability not just as a top-tier bowler but also as an alert and athletic fielder. The sharp reaction and clean grab left teammates and spectators thoroughly impressed.
Carty’s wicket came at a crucial point as the West Indies were attempting to recover from early pressure. Cummins’ moment of brilliance halted that momentum and injected renewed energy into the Australian camp.
Known for leading with intensity and composure, Cummins continues to inspire his team with such moments of individual excellence. This sharp caught and bowled will surely be remembered as one of the highlights of the Grenada Test.
IND Vs ENG, 2nd Test: Shubman Gill Takes A Nasty Blow To Head While Fielding At Slips; Video
During Day 3 of the second Test match between India and England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Indian captain Shubman Gill had a scary moment while fielding.
The incident happened on the second ball of the 37th over of England's innings. Ravindra Jadeja was bowling, and England batter Harry Brook edged the ball. Gill, who was fielding at first slip, tried to take the catch, but the ball struck him on the head instead.
The ball hit him hard and then deflected away, allowing England to score two runs. Medical staff quickly checked on Gill, but thankfully he was okay. After a short break, Gill continued to stay on the field and kept leading his team.
This moment reminded everyone how dangerous close-in fielding can be. Luckily, Gill did not suffer any serious injury and showed great courage by continuing to play.
