Sanju Samson’s Acrobatic One-Handed Catch Gets India First Wicket vs Zimbabwe In Second ODI. Watch

After winning the first ODI against Zimbabwe by 10 wickets, the KL Rahul-led Indian cricket team started the second ODI on a strong footing too. After opting to bowl first, India restricted Zimbabwe’s run-scoring pace in the initial overs. Zimbabwe reached 20/0 in just over eight overs when Mohammed Siraj gave India the first breakthrough by dismissing Takudzwanashe Kaitano. However, wicketkeeper Sanju Samson played a big role in the dismissal and he took a diving catch to dismiss the Zimbabwe batter.
