[Watch] Yannic Cariah takes stunning catch to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav in IND vs WI ODI decider

Yannic Cariah took a sensational catch at backward point to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav in the third ODI against West Indies at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad on Tuesday, August 1. Cariah dived to his left to complete the catch with both hands.

The incident took place in the 47th over off Romario Shephard. The pacer bowled a slower ball outside off and Yadav went for the open-faced loft, which Cariah grabbed with both hands. With the dismissal, WI reduced India to 309/5 in 46.5 overs.

Watch Surykumar Yadav’s wicket below:

Suryakumar Yadav scored 35 runs off 30 balls, including two sixes and as many boundaries. He also shared a 65-run partnership with stand-in captain Hardik Pandya for the fifth wicket.

The right-handed batter amassed 78 runs in the three-match series against WI, failing to make a point for himself in ODIs in the absence of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer ahead of the 2023 Asia Cup and 50-over World Cup.

It remains to be seen whether Yadav gets picked for Asia Cup, which is scheduled to be played from August 30.
