Attempting to capitalise on the slight little bit of moisture current on the strip, the Remainder of India captain Ruturaj Gaikwad elected to discipline first. Mukesh Kumar didn’t disappoint his captain regardless of leaking a 4 on the second ball of the match towards the Mumbaikar. He made use of the brand new ball completely with the primary wicket within the type of Shaw catching consideration, coupled with a scintillating seize from Padikkal on the slip cordon.
Having bowled 5 dots in his first over, Mukesh bowled an excellent size supply across the fourth stump that Shaw tried to drive off the entrance foot. He performed the flawed line and misjudged the slight little bit of outward seam motion, ending up with a nick on the skin edge. With the ball traversing in the direction of second slip in a jiffy, Padikkal swerved to his proper and grabbed the purple rock out of skinny air. Such catches typically demand a fast reflex motion and Padikkal exemplified it by elevating the bar of athleticism within the sport.
