Watch: India's Kaushal Tambe Almost Drops Catch, Then Takes One-Handed Stunner In U19 Cricket World Cup Final vs England

India's Kaushal Tambe had a heart-in-the-mouth moment in the ICC U19 World Cup final against England on Saturday when he almost dropped a simple catch before recovering to take a one-handed stunner. Tambe was fielding in deep square leg when England's James Rew, batting on 95, pulled a Ravi Kumar delivery towards him. Tambe almost spilled the ball while trying to take the catch but recovered in time to jump forward and take a stunning one-handed catch to send Rew back to the pavilion. The dismissal was crucial as it broke a 93-run wicket for England's fourth wicket and India went on to take the remaining two wickets for just five more runs.
