Ajinkya Rahane presented an impeccable show of fielding whilst Windies batting as the Indian opener ran miles to take a tough catch of Shai Hope, to dismiss the settled batsman.

The right-handed batsman was a settled man at the crease and was looking to accelerate the team’s score in the later overs and in the quest to do so, he hit one of off Mohammed Shami which did not have the power what was needed in it. Rahane saw an opportunity in it and ran miles from deep square leg and dived perfectly to dismiss Shai Hope.

It was a brilliant catch as Rahane had to keep the pace going and also had one eye on the ball. He did not falter whilst attempting the catch and in the end, succeeded in his mission of dismissing the settled batsman.

It was a big blow for Windies, who was hoping for some runs from its settled batsman but a brilliant catch put a break on their hopes.

The way Windies started the innings, it looked like they will touch the mark of 280-290 but India’s fielding has made the difference. Whether talking of two catches taken by Shikhar Dhawan or this one, India has excelled in this aspect of the game, which has made the difference in the end.
