Shivam Dube took an extraordinary one-handed catch to dismiss South African opening batter Reeza Hendricks for a low score of 13 runs in the 7th over of the 2nd innings at the 5th and series concluding T20I in Ahmedabad.
India posted a mammoth total of 231 runs on the back of a sensational partnership between Tilak Varma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya. The duo stood for an outstanding partnership of 105 runs to take India from a score of 115 to 220.
The partnership was broken by Ottniel Baartman in the 3rd ball of the 20th over with Hardik Pandya departing after scoring the second fastest half-century of the shortest format in just 16 balls.
Baartman also Tilak for a score of 72, but Shivam Dube's 10 off 3 at the end took India to a total of over 220.
In the 2nd innings, South Africa got off to a blistering start as Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock stitched a 50+ partnership, a first for the Proteas against India in their last 20 T20I meetings.
The Blues needed a moment of magic to break the partnership and Varun Chakaravarthy struck right after the end of powerplay.
In the 3rd ball of the 7th over, Chakaravarthy bowled a googly, short and around the pads and Hendricks pressed back before releasing a slap towards mid-wicket, where Shivam Dube, nonchalantly took a left-handed catch while in motion.
