Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis made an incredible diving catch to dismiss India all-rounder Shivam Dube in the second T20I on Friday, October 31, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The catch happened during India’s innings in the ongoing five-match series. India struggled early after being sent to bat, losing half their side for just 49 runs in 7.3 overs, after Josh Hazlewood delivered a lethal spell with the new ball.
Harshit Rana’s promotion in the batting order ahead of Shubman Gill caught many by surprise. Shivam Dube’s innings was brief: he hit a lucky boundary off his first ball, but was caught off the very next delivery. Xavier Bartlett generated extra bounce, luring Dube into a tentative shot outside off stump. The ball edged to Inglis, who completed a remarkable diving catch.

This catch by Josh Inglis highlights the crucial role of sharp wicketkeeping in high-pressure T20 matches and Australia's strong pace attack against India.
