Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi picked a wonderful catch of explosive West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran in the first T20I of the three-match T20 International series at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Wednesday, February 16, but the West Indies batter survived after the Indian fielder stepped on the boundary rope.

The incident took place just after the powerplay in the 1st ball of the 7th over, which was bowled by senior Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

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.

India won the toss and opted to bowl first in the match. India fielded 5 batters 1 all-rounder, 3 pacers and 2 spinners.

Senior Indian seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the first breakthrough for India in the first over itself. He dismissed Brandon King in the 5th ball of the opening over. Deepak Chahar bowled the second over and he gave away 8 runs. West Indies batters scored 6,7,10 and 9 runs in the next 4 overs and at the end of the powerplay, West Indies were at 44/1.
