WI vs BAN [WATCH]: Justin Greaves outfoxes Litton Das with an exceptional delivery on Day 3 of the second Test

Day 3 of the second Test between Bangladesh and West Indies saw an intense battle as both teams sought to seize control. West Indies, after being dismissed for a modest 146 in their first innings, faced a resilient Bangladesh side determined to extend their lead. Jayden Seales, showcasing his exceptional bowling skills, troubled the Bangladesh batters with precision and cleverness, producing moments of brilliance that kept the visitors on their toes. However, it was pacer Justin Greaves produced a moment of brilliance on the third day.

Justin Greaves’ magic delivery stuns Litton Das

Greaves delivered what can only be described as the unbelievable ball to dismiss Litton Das in stunning fashion. On fifth ball of the 34th over, the right-arm pacer, known for his ability to mix pace and variation, unleashed a slower off-break delivery that pitched outside the off-stump. The ball deceived everyone with its sharp turn back into the right-hander, leaving Litton Das completely clueless. Positioned well on 25 off 34 deliveries, Litton tried to defend with a straight bat, but the ball sneaked through the bat-pad gap and rattled the stumps. This piece of brilliance was not just a dismissal; it was big blow to Bangladesh, as Litton was looking set for a significant contribution.
