The brilliant display of athleticism occurred during the 49th over of India A‘s second innings as they faced off against India C.

Gaurav Yadav, delivering the crucial over, bowled a delivery to Parag, who was batting confidently on 73 off 101 balls, including five boundaries and one six. Parag attempted to clear the deep cover boundary, hoping to add to his total. However, stationed at deep cover, Gaikwad had other plans. Displaying exceptional reflexes and anticipation, Gaikwad lunged to his right, managing to grab the ball with a spectacular one-handed catch.
