Aiden Markram ended Nitish Kumar Reddy’s innings by taking a brilliant catch on the third day of the Guwahati Test. This brilliant catch undoubtedly increased the pressure on Team India, but seeing this, even the Indian fans would not have been able to stop themselves from praising him. In the form of Nitish, India’s sixth wicket had fallen at the score of only 119, while the visiting team had scored 489 runs in the first innings.
Aiden Markram’s ‘Superman’ catch
Aiden Markram took this catch in the second session on the third day of the India vs South Africa second test. Marco Janson bowled the 42nd over, the fourth ball of this over he bowled a slow bouncer. The ball hit the gloves of Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was dodged by the speed, and went in the direction of the ‘gully’. The ball was in the air, Markram, standing at the fourth slip position, immediately started running. The ball was still falling far away from him, so he dived and caught the ball with one hand. India’s sixth wicket fell on this side.
