The breathtaking catch transpired in the first ball of the 25th over when Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj delivered a back-of-a-length delivery, appearing to veer down the leg side. Mehidy Hasan managed a slight tickle, and it initially seemed like he had evaded Rahul’s grasp. However, in a display of exceptional athleticism, Rahul stretched fully to his left, thrust out his left hand, and secured the catch single-handedly.
