[WATCH]- Padikkal Takes Brilliant Short-Leg Catch To Dismiss Tevin Imlach In IND vs WI 2nd Test

India’s left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav picked up his second wicket of the morning by removing West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Tevin Imlach on Day 3 (Sunday, October 12) of the ongoing second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The wicket fell on the final ball of the 52nd over of the visitors’ first innings.

Kuldeep bowled a sharply spinning length delivery that moved into the right-hander. Imlach went onto the back foot and tried to guide it to the leg side but missed, hitting his knee. At short leg, Devdutt Padikkal made a quick reaction, diving forward to take a spectacular catch as umpire Richard Illingworth raised his finger.

Imlach opted for a review, but UltraEdge confirmed no bat was involved, and ball-tracking showed all three reds, upholding the on-field decision. This marked Kuldeep Yadav’s third wicket of the innings. You can watch the video here:
