India lifted their catching standards to a phenomenal level on day four of the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur, as Mohammed Siraj's spectacular leaping effort ended in a sensational one-handed catch to dismiss Shakib Al Hasan at the Green Park Stadium on Monday. Facing Ravichandran Ashwin, Shakib came out of his crease but was completely beaten as the Indian off-spinner's delivery dipped. Shakib lost his bottom-hand grip on the bat while going for the lofted drive. The shot ended up as a skier with Siraj back-paddling under it at mid-off.Also See: Live Cricket Score Today | ICC Women's T20 WC Schedule 2024 The ball looked to be going slightly over him, set to fall behind.
