Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis delivered one of the most remarkable moments of the IND vs AUS 2nd T20 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with a breathtaking diving catch that dismissed Shivam Dube off Xavier Bartlett’s bowling.
The dismissal came just as India was finding momentum through the middle overs. Dube had settled in and seemed poised for a strong finish when Bartlett bowled a sharp back-of-a-length delivery that angled away from the left-hander. Tempted into an aggressive shot, Dube edged the ball.
Inglis, standing alert behind the stumps, reacted instantly and dived full-stretch to his left, catching the ball cleanly just inches above the turf.
The stunning catch drew gasps from the MCG crowd and immediate praise from commentators for Inglis’ impeccable reflexes and anticipation. The breakthrough proved crucial for Australia, breaking India’s rhythm and rewarding Bartlett’s consistent bowling efforts.
The moment also underscored Inglis’s rising reputation as a reliable and athletic wicketkeeper in limited-overs cricket. Meanwhile, Dube, known for his finishing power, appeared visibly disappointed as he walked back, while Bartlett celebrated the key wicket by acknowledging Inglis’s brilliance.
