Dewald Brevis took a spectacular catch to dismiss Ruturaj Gaikwad cheaply in the first ODI between India and South Africa at JSCA Stadium in Ranchi on Sunday, November 30. With the catch, he helped the Proteas remove Gaikwad for 8 off 14 as the Men in Blue lost their third wicket for 183.
The dismissal came in the 27th over of India’s innings. Ottneil Baartman bowled a fuller length delivery, and Gaikwad went towards the cover for a cracking short, but failed to keep the ball down. Brevis leaped in the air as he dived onto the ground to pluck the catch at his knee height.
