Chahal delivered a flighted ball outside off and Nicholas Pooran decided to attack from the very first ball and he smashed the ball straight.

Leg-spinner Bishnoi, who is making his India debut, ran around from the long-off and he settled nicely under the ball that went high up in the air and he took the catch comfortably but stepped on the boundary rope.

The on-field umpire gave the soft signal out and went upstairs to check the catch and the third umpire declared it as a six.
