The Catch: How Geet Puri defied gravity to dismiss Sumanta Gupta off Mohammed Shami's thunderbolt
It was a short ball inside the powerplay at the right-handed batter, Sumanta Gupta, who was on seven runs off three balls, after nailing a six quite early in his innings. The pacer followed the batter, who made room and moved into the leg side of the stumps.

The ball swung a little and took the outside edge of the batter and flew into the slip region. Due to the pace of the ball, the slip fielder, despite jumping in the air, failed to grab the ball as it popped out of his hands before Geet Puri, who was the third man fielder inside the 30-yard circle, dived forward to grab the fine catch.
Shami wore a beaming smile as he took the catch, and the Strikers' owners and teammates were stunned by the fielding performance. Shami ended up with four wickets in the evening for 27 runs in his four-over spell.
