The veteran Indian wicket-keeper, Dinesh Karthik, who is playing for India C in the final of Deodhar Trophy against India B, took a stunning one-handed catch while diving to his left to send India B skipper Parthiv Patel back to the pavilion on Monday. In the ninth over, Ishan Porel bowled a good length delivery that took the outside edge of Parthiv Patel’s bat and the ball went flying into the hands of Dinesh Karthik.
Here is the video of the catch:

Apart from him, Jalaj Saxena and Axar Patel picked up a wicket each. For India B, the youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal and Kedar Jadhav scored half-centuries while Vijay Shankar also chipped in with a quick knock of 45 off 33 balls.
