On a brilliant day for Team India in the field, Mohammed Siraj grabbed a brilliant one-handed catch. With India up against Bangladesh on Day 4 of the second Test in Kanpur, the only objective set was claiming quick wickets.

It was Jasprit Bumrah who bagged the first wicket for the team on the day, sending Mushfiqur Rahim packing before Mohammed Siraj struck to dismiss Litton Das, thanks to a brilliant catch by Rohit Sharma.

Probably inspired by Rohit's effort, Siraj then produced a one-handed stunner himself as Ravichandran Ashwin sent Shakib al Hasan packing.

Shakib advanced down the pitch, looking to hit Ashwin for a maximum but the ball only hit the toe end of the bat. Siraj, running backwards to take the catch, had to dive behind him to claim the catch.
