It was the catch of the match by Gabbar and the Indian team became ecstatic after the dismissal. Hardik delivered a short ball off the leg stump and Morgan’s reflexes forced him to play the pull shot behind square leg. However, he failed to generate power in the shot as he was cramped for room. Dhawan, who was standing near the ropes, jumped into the air and stuck his hand out, and takes an excellent catch before falling over. Fans jump the fence to celebrate the wicket with Team India, but security takes them away soon after.
