Watch: Akeal Hosein Grabs A Great Diving Catch To Send Back Rishabh Pant For 14 In 1st T20I

Star India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was dismissed by West Indies National Cricket Team pacer Keemo Paul in the first T20I of the five-match T20I series at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad on Friday, July 29.

The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has played 51 T20Is for India National Cricket Team and his numbers are not at all impressive. He has scored 782 runs in T20I cricket at a below-par average of 22.34 and a poor strike rate of 124.32.

In the first T20I against West Indies, Pant failed once again, while batting at No.4 for the Rohit Sharma-led side. He was able to score just 14 runs off 12 balls, including 2 fours, before being dismissed by the 24-year-old pacer Keemo Paul on the last ball of the 10th over of the match.

The West Indies National Cricket Team pacer bowled a slower full-length delivery across off and Pant went for the drive, but he only managed to get a thick outside edge. The ball went towards the left of the short third where spinner Akeal Hosein grabbed an incredible full-length diving catch to his left to send the young wicketkeeper-batsman back to the pavilion.
