Jhye Richardson plucked onto a screamer to dismiss Rishabh Pant during the second T20I between Indian National Cricket team and Australia at Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, India started on a high after going down in the first game at Visakhapatnam. KL Rahul took off in the fifth gear tearing apart the Aussie bowling. He slammed back-to-back sixes again to round off the powerplay. India made only 24 runs in the first four overs but added 29 in the next two to finish with 53 runs in the first six overs as Rahul also hot hit off the final ball of the powerplay.

However, KL Rahul departed against the run of play while playing an uppercut finding the third-man fielder. Shikhar Dhawan followed Rahul soon as his struggling knock comes to an end as India were on 73 for two at the halfway stage. The umpires were in doubt about the legality of the catch but finally gave the verdict in favour of the fielder.

Australia struck back once again to dismiss Rishabh Pant to peg back in the game. D’Arcy Short picked his first wicket as Richardson grabbed one of the best catches you would ever see. It was a tossed up delivery wide of off, Pant wanted to tonk it over long-on. He mistimes it horribly as the bat turns in his hand at the point of contact. Jhye Richardson at long-off flies in the air like a superman to his left and takes a truly sensational catch. Pant’s tough time in T20I continues.

Meanwhile, India finished the game on a high as Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni helped India set a target of 191 runs.
