Following a win against Pakistan, India is riding high on confidence as they face a critical match against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup. With a lot at stake, India is aiming to maintain their momentum. In the second innings, Radha Yadav set the tone early by taking a spectacular catch on just the second ball of the first over, showcasing her sharp fielding skills and giving India an early advantage in this pivotal contest.
Radha Yadav Took a Stunner Catch:
Renuka Singh provided India with a dream start by claiming the wicket of Vishmi Gunaratne in the very first over. On the second delivery, Gunaratne attempted to loft the ball but mistimed her shot, sending it high into the air. Sub-fielder Radha Yadav, positioned at backward point, made a stunning effort to secure the catch. Running to her right with Jemimah Rodrigues in her field of vision, Radha initially tried with both hands but ultimately extended just one to grab the ball as it seemed to drift away.

Despite hitting the ground hard with her elbows, Radha managed to keep the ball secure, ensuring it didn’t pop out upon impact. She lay flat on the ground after completing the catch, with Jemimah celebrating by falling on top of her. This exceptional effort set the tone for India, with Gunaratne dismissed for a duck, leaving Sri Lanka in early trouble.
