Indian women's team's cricketer Radha Yadav pulled off two sensational catches in the ongoing 2nd ODI against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The BCCI's official social media shared both the videos, leaving the fans and commentators stunned as Radha timed both her dives to perfection to hold onto the catches.
The first catch occurred in 16th over of the innings as the ball caught the inside half of Georgia Plimmer's bat and popped up. Yadav flung herself to her right swiftly at the deep mid-wicket and took it with both hands. Meanwhile, the second took place in the 32nd over as Brooke Halliday came down the track to hit it straight down the ground, but miscued it. The 24-year-old dove full throttle and caught the ball, leaving the commentators stunned.
Below are the videos of the same:
