Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis showcased exceptional skill with a brilliant diving catch to remove India’s all-rounder Shivam Dube in the second T20I on Friday, October 31, 2025. The match took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as part of the ongoing five-match series.
India, batting first, had a tough start as Josh Hazlewood delivered a sharp opening spell that dismantled the Indian top order. By 7.3 overs, India had lost half its side, scoring only 49 runs. A surprising promotion in the batting order saw Harshit Rana replacing Shubman Gill.
Shivam Dube’s innings was brief. After edging his first ball to the boundary, he soon fell victim to XCavier Bartlett’s extra bounce and movement. Attempting a cautious shot outside off stump, Dube got an edge that flew just past Inglis’s left side, who made a spectacular diving catch to complete the dismissal.
“The edge flew to the left of Josh Inglis, who completed a brilliant diving catch.”
Dube scored 4 runs off 2 balls, and with his wicket, India was seven down.
The catch quickly gained attention on social media, with fans praising Inglis’s athleticism. A video of the catch was widely shared, highlighting this moment as a potential “Play of the Day.”
