Mukesh utilized his ability to generate extra bounce and trouble the opposition batters. After an early wicket by Hardik Pandya, the hosts were steadily rebuilding their innings with Brandon King and Athanaze at the crease. However, Mukesh had other plans. The incident took place during the eighth over, when Mukesh bowled a widish delivery, tempting Athanaze into attempting a shot on the off-side. Athanaze tried to go for a fancy hit, but couldn’t time it well. Although for a moment it appeared the white leather would sail over Jadeja who was fielding at point, but Jaddu showcased his exceptional athleticism by diving full-stretch to his right and plucking the ball out of thin air.

Spinner shine as India pack West Indies for a mere 114
India’s bowlers, especially the spin duo of Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, continued their dominant form, dismantling the West Indies batting lineup and packing them for a paltry total of 114 runs.
Kuldeep spun a web around the West Indies batters, picking up four crucial wickets while conceding a mere six runs in his three overs, including two maidens. His variations and skillful control baffled the opposition, leaving them struggling to find answers.
Jadeja, known for his exceptional all-round abilities, complemented Kuldeep’s brilliance with his spin wizardry. Jadeja scalped three wickets, giving away 37 runs in his six overs. The West Indies captain, Shai Hope, displayed some resistance with a score of 43, but apart from him, no other batter could find their rhythm against the Indian bowlers.
