Team India bounced back in the ongoing five-match T20I series against England after registering a thrillinওg victory in the fourth game at the Narendr൲a Modi Cricket Stadium on Thursday. This win also helped the hosts to level the five-match series 2-2 with one fixture to go.
During the game, Ben Stokes pulled off a sensational catch in the penultimate over of India’s innings to dismiss all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
It all happened in the 19th over when England pacer Mark Wood banged the ball sho🍒rt outside off stump, and Pandya slapped the white leather towards the covers for a flat hit. But, Stokes exhibited superior cricketing athleticism and dived towards his left to take a screamer.
