Shreyas Iyer’s Quick Reflex Catch Dismisses Kyle Jamieson

On Day 2, while trying to hit left-arm spinner Axar Patel for a six, Kyle Jamieson outside edged the ball. After the ball rebounded back from wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha’s gloves, Shreyas Iyer standing at Silly point completed an amazing catch diving towards his left to end New Zealand’s innings.

In their first innings, New Zealand were bowled out for just 62 runs within 28.1 overs. The Kiwis lost wickets at frequent intervals, and none of their batters got into their rhythm. With skipper Tom Latham and Ross Taylor both falling out cheaply, the innings never really got going.

62 is a team’s lowest total in a Test innings at Wankhede. It’s also the lowest total by a team against India in the history of Test cricket. Thus, India is definitely ahead in the match after knocking New Zealand out for such a low total in their first innings.
