Josh Inglis Takes Stunning Catch to Dismiss Shivam Dube in Melbourne T20I
Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis made a remarkable diving catch to dismiss India's all-rounder Shivam Dube during the second T20I against Australia on Friday, October 31, 2025.
Match Context and Incident Details
The catch happened at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the ongoing five-match series. India, asked to bat first, started poorly as Josh Hazlewood dismantled the top order with an impressive spell. By 7.3 overs, India had lost half their team for just 49 runs.
In a surprising move, Harshit Rana was promoted ahead of Shubman Gill in the batting order. Shivam Dube's innings was brief—after scoring a boundary from his first ball, he was dismissed on the very next delivery.
Xavier Bartlett generated extra bounce and movement, tempting Dube to poke outside off, but the ball edged sharply to the left of Josh Inglis, who pulled off a superb diving catch.
Dube was out for 4 runs off 2 balls, leaving India seven wickets down.
Fan Reaction
A video of the catch was shared on X (formerly Twitter) and quickly gained attention among fans and cricket enthusiasts.
