Watch: Nicholas Pooran Takes One-Handed Stunner To Dismiss Shreyas Iyer in First India vs WI ODI

India's top-order comprising Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer was in sublime form and they made the most of below-par West Indies' bowling and all three batters registered half-centuries in the first ODI of the three-match series. However, West Indies were brilliant in the field and skipper Nicholas Pooran came up with a stunning catch to cut short Shreyas Iyer's stint at the crease and the batter walked back after scoring 54.

It was on the fifth ball of the 36th over bowled by Motie that Pooran took a one-handed stunning catch. Iyer made room for himself and tried to play an inside-out shot, but he was unable to get enough elevation. Pooran jumped and the ball stuck in his right hand. As a result, Iyer had to walk back to the hut.
