[WATCH] Shreyas Iyer's fabulous catch dismisses Alex Carey during AUS vs IND 3rd ODI
Watch the video where one of the fabulous fielders of the Indian cricket team, Shreyas Iyer, grabbed a fine catch while running back to the point region to dismiss the left-handed batter, Alex Carey, during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney.
India’s fielding during the third ODI of the three-match series against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) was excellent. All of them were active in the middle by stopping crucial runs, which built incredible pressure on the batters, and that ended in wickets of the home side. India didn’t make a good start with the ball, but found their way later in the game.
Alex Carey struggled against the spinner since his arrival in the middle. The left-handed batter swept Kuldeep Yadav into the long-off region and almost found Prasidh Krishna, who couldn’t keep the ball in his lap. The left-handed batter suddenly looked to get his feet moving with some aggressive batting.

But Shreyas Iyer’s excellent catch put the curtains down for the left-handed batter. On 24 runs, Carey threw his arms against Harshit Rana, perhaps looking to go over the mid-off or extra cover region, but couldn’t get the sweet timing of the blade and sliced the ball in the air. Shreyas Iyer turned around and ran back from backward point to time the jump perfectly and held onto the catch.

Both the opening batters of the home side, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, gave a good platform with the opening partnership of 61 runs. The former smashed 29 runs in 25 balls with a strike rate of 116, while the captain of the side ended with 41 runs in 50 balls, thanks to five boundaries and one six.
Matth Renshaw, since making his debut in the opening clash in Perth, got out for the first time in the series for 56 runs in 58 balls with a strike rate of 96.55, shouldering on two boundaries, which shows the incredible running between the wickets he did.
But India made a clinical comeback as they reduced the Australian side to 201/7 from 183/3. The home side lost their four wickets for just 18 runs in nearly seven overs. However, it was a good surface for any team to cross the 275-run mark.
