Star Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar on Friday took a blinder off Mohammed Shami’s ball to get rid of Australia’s danger man Glenn Maxwell during the third and final ODI against the Oz team at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
In the 35th over of the Australia innings, Maxwell top-edged a stunning bouncer by Shami and it went straight towards fine leg where SunRisers Hyderabad cricketer was fielding. Bhuvi fixed his eyes on the ball and ran his heart out to reach the ball and completed a stunning diving catch.
Maxwell was the sixth Australian batsmen to fall.
Here is the video of the catch:
