Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis produced a moment of brilliance behind the stumps to dismiss India’s all-rounder Shivam Dube during the second T20I at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, October 31. The sharp diving catch was one of the highlights of Australia’s dominant bowling performance, as India endured another batting collapse in the ongoing five-match T20I series.

After losing yet another toss, India were put in to bat first, but their top order once again faltered under pressure. Josh Hazlewood, who has been in tremendous rhythm this series, dismantled India’s batting lineup with a fiery new-ball spell.

The visitors lost half their side for just 49 runs within the first eight overs, leaving their middle order with a mountain to climb. Surprisingly, young pacer Harshit Rana was sent ahead of established batters like Shubman Gill, a decision that raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike.

Shivam Dube, known for his clean hitting, had little time to settle in. On just his second delivery, Xavier Bartlett bowled a rising ball that moved away sharply off the seam.

Dube, caught in two minds, poked at it with uncertain footwork. The ball took a thick outside edge and flew toward the left of wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, who dived full stretch to complete an outstanding catch. It was a moment of sheer athleticism, showcasing Inglis’s sharp reflexes and impeccable glove work.

Dube’s brief stay ended at 4 runs from 2 balls, further deepening India’s woes at 49 for 7. The visitors’ batting struggles have been a recurring theme this series, as Australia’s pacers continue to expose India’s vulnerability against swing and bounce. With another top-order failure, India once again found themselves relying on their lower order to salvage respectability in the innings.
