WATCH: KL Rahul’s stunning catch at slips gets Mitchell Marsh walk off to pavilion in 1st BGT 2024-25 Perth Test

New Delhi: India’s star cricketer KL Rahul reversed a tough fielding day for India and a struggling bowling afternoon for Mohammed Siraj in one go by taking a stunner at slips to dismiss Mitchell Marsh on the first day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Mohammed Siraj bowled the first few deliveries of the innings’ 17th over at just short of good length, making them nip back into Marsh. The fifth ball fell on the perfect spot, targeting the top of the off-stump and Marsh prodded at it with hard hands.

The edge flew low to the left of KL Rahul at third slip and he timed his dive to perfection to grab it with the tip of his fingers. The third umpire checked the catch a couple of times before ruling it in favor of the visiting side.

It is worth mentioning that, the third ball of the over fell on a similiar length and Virat Kohli from slips was heard motivating the pacer to stick with the spot. The fourth one kept a bit low outside off and skipper Jasprit Bumrah was spotted chatting with Mohammed Siraj.
