The phrase catches win matches comes true often seems true when a brilliant fielding effort from a player of the bowling team plays a crucial role in dismissing the opposition batter. England’s captain, Jos Buttler managed to a brilliant diving catch while running back to dismiss his Indian counterpart, Rohit Sharma who was playing an aggressive knock.
After winning the first T20I of the series, India came out with all guns blazing in the second game. England won the toss and invited the visitors to bat first. Surprisingly, Rishabh Pant opened along with Rohit Sharma and he started the innings at a brisk pace. India scored 61/1 at the end of the powerplay but Rohit Sharma’s dismissal was followed by a couple of wickets in quick succession.

Richard Gleeson is making his T20I debut and he made it memorable with the wicket of Rohit Sharma. He then managed to dismiss Rohit with a back-of-length delivery as the Indian skipper tried to pull it. The batter was hurried by the delivery and he top-edged the ball.
Jos Buttler did a superb job behind the wickets as he caught a diving catch while running backward and played a pivotal role in giving India an important breakthrough. Rohit walked back to the pavilion after he was dismissed on 31 runs but he gave a solid start to the Indian team and a platform to capitalize for a big total.
