West Indies’ Shai Hope pulled off a stunning one-handed catch at first slip to dismiss India batter Sai Sudharsan on Day 5 (Tuesday, October 14) of the second Test of the two-match series. The contest is underway at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

The dismissal came on the third ball of the 29th over of India’s second innings. Roston Chase tossed one up on off-stump, prompting Sudharsan to go for the drive. The ball turned sharply across the left-hander, caught the outside edge, and flew towards first slip, where Hope dived to his right to complete a spectacular one-handed catch.
