India’s wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan not only scored valuable runs with the bat but also took a stunning catch to dismiss Charith Asalanka in the first T20I of the series against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
“I think we have seen when we were playing in Bangladesh, there were a few catches which we missed because of calling, lack of proper sound while calling.
“So I thought when I am going for a catch, I will go all-out, I would create confusion. So I called. Even when we were practicing, I was discussing with the coach that calling is very important. So we practiced this and we practiced high-catching with tennis rackets and soft balls. All the hard work paid off,” the stumper-batter said about his terrific catch.
That was a fabulous catch: T Dilip
India’s fielding coach T Dilip was very impressed with the catch as well. He appreciated Ishan Kishan and reminded that catching while running backwards is always a tough one. “Catching while running back is very difficult. We all know your speed is great. That was a fabulous catch,” he said.
