Watch: Suryakumar Yadav's superb air-borne catch dismisses Roston Chase in IND vs WI T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s

India didn’t field well at the start of the T20 World Cup 2026 for their Super 8 fixture against West Indies, which was a virtual quarter-final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Abhishek Sharma dropped the vital catch of Roston Chase while Varun Chakravarthy failed to break the opening pair of Chase and Shai Hope. 

However, the table turned as Jasprit Bumrah sent back both inform Shimron Hetmyer and Chase in his second over of the innings, while the Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav, grabbed an acrobatic air-borne catch to dismiss the latter. On the fifth delivery of the 12th over, Chase looked to dab the ball on the off-side for a single.

However, he didn’t realize the variation from the right-arm pacer. He was stuck into the shot early by this lovely slower delivery from Bumrah and checked his defense as the ball lobbed in the air where Suryakumar Yadav, fielding at the cover-region, jumped to grab a fine catch to dismiss the right-handed batter for 40 runs in 25 balls, with the help of five boundaries and one six.

It was a great catch for two reasons- one of those being how he managed to keep it in his hand despite falling on the ground. He stretched the full length dive and used both hands to grab the catch as the entire crowd roared to cheer for their side.

Two balls ago, Bumrah dismissed Hetmyer for 27 runs in 12 balls. The southpaw looked in an aggressive mode as he was nailing the spinners into the leg side, following his trend of the campaign. But Bumrah used the fast ball to skid the left-handed batter and got the outside edge into the hands of the wicket-keeper, Sanju Samson.

After a strong start of 68 runs in 8.4 overs and a firepower in their middle overs, the West Indies seemed to fall a little as Bumrah held a magical figure of 2/11 in his two overs.

Brief Scores: WI 149/4 (Roston Chase 40, Jasprit Bumrah 2/11) vs India
