Mohammad Mahmudullah took a sensational catch of Shubman Gill during the 2023 World Cup match between India and Bangladesh at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Thursday, October 19. The all-rounder balanced himself at the boundary rope to pull off a blinder.
The dismissal took place in the 20th over of India’s run-chase. Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz dragged his length back as Gill took the charge. The right-handed batter, though, mistimed the shot, which reached towards the deep mid-wicket.
Mahmudullah judged it to perfection and ensured that the momentum didn’t take him inside the boundary ropes as he stayed in the field of play.
With the wicket, Bangladesh reduced India to 132/2 after 19.2 overs.
Watch Mahmudullah's stunning catch below:
Gill departed for 53 runs off 55 balls, including two sixes and five boundaries. He also shared an 88-run partnership with India captain Rohit Sharma for the opening wicket.
