On Saturday, October 19, Ramandeep Singh took an unreal one-handed catch diving full stretch to his right, to send the dangerous Yasir Khan back into the pavilion during India A’s opening match in the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 against Pakistan Shaheens. At the Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1), the stunning catch from Ramandeep Singh happened when Pakistan Shaheens were in a good position in pursuit of the 184-run target.
It was the first ball of the ninth over of the Pakistan Shaheens innings, a shorter delivery into the stumps from Nishant Sindhu was pulled with disdain by Yasir Khan towards the deep midwicket boundary. But, from out of absolute nowhere, Ramandeep Singh ran a couple of yards to his right before diving full stretch, to grab an unreal catch while being perpendicular to the ground.
