[Watch] Kagiso Rabada’s Stunning Catch To Dismiss Hardik Pandya During 2022 T20 World Cup

The Indian cricket team got off to a disastrous start against South Africa in Match 30 of the 2022 T20 World Cup on Sunday, October 30 at the Perth Stadium. Pacer Lungi Ngidi wreaked havoc as he pushed India on the backfoot reducing them to 42/4 in around eight overs. Things got worse, as Ngidi took his fourth wicket to send back Hardik Pandya, thanks to an outstanding piece of work on the field by Kagiso Rabada.

Hardik Pandya walked out to bat following Deepak Hooda’s dismissal. The Indian hopes relied on him, to bail the team out of trouble. However, Rabada’s stunning catch shattered the hopes, as Hardik couldn’t do much. He was dismissed for just two runs off three deliveries in the ninth over.

Lungi Ngidi bowled a banged-in short delivery, and Hardik Pandya swiveled across to play the pull shot, rolling his wrists over. The ball went flat but did not go all the way. Instead, it was dying down onto the long leg, when Rabada ran in and dived forward to complete an outstanding catch.
