[WATCH]- Markram Grabs Sensational Catch To Remove Abhishek Sharma In 3rd T20I

South Africa skipper Aiden Markram pulled off a superb catch to remove Abhishek Sharma during the third T20I against India in Dharamsala on Sunday, December 14. The left-hander was dismissed for a brisk 35 off 18 deliveries, with India losing their first wicket at 60 in the sixth over of the chase.

The breakthrough came when Corbin Bosch bowled a length delivery outside off and Abhishek went for an ambitious shot on the off side. While the ball took elevation, it lacked the required distance after coming off the lower part of the bat. Markram charged in from cover and showed great athleticism to complete the catch, diving forward as two other fielders closed in.

Despite his brief stay, Abhishek made a telling impact, hammering three sixes and three boundaries. You can watch the video here:
