WATCH: Sai Sudharshan Takes Brilliant Acrobatic Catch In IND Vs SA 3rd ODI

PAARL: Sai Sudharsan showcased brilliance with a stunning catch that dismissed the formidable Heinrich Klaasen during the IND vs SA 3rd ODI in Paarl on Thursday.

The match was finely balanced, and Team India, seeking an advantage, found it through Sudharsan’s acrobatic fielding.

In the 33rd over, Avesh Khan delivered a full ball outside off, tempting Klaasen to go for a big hit. However, mistiming the shot, the ball soared high in the air. Positioned at mid-off, Sudharsan sprinted forward, executing a fantastic catch on the dipping ball.
