"MS Dhoni Level Keeping": Jitesh Sharma's Lightning-Fast Act Stuns The Internet. Watch
Jitesh Sharma affected a lightning-fast run-out to deny South Africa's Quinton de Kock a century in the 2nd T20I in Mullanpur on Thursday.
India wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma affected a lightning-fast run-out to deny South Africa's Quinton de Kock a century in the 2nd T20I in Mullanpur on Thursday. The incident happened on the first ball of the 16th over which was bowled by Varun Chakravarthy. De Kock attempted a cut shot off Chakravarthy's delivery, but only managed to get an under edge on it. De Kock initially tried to steal a quick single but was caught in two minds as the ball made an awkward bounce after making contact with the bat. While he tried to make his way, Jitesh reached for the ball with his left, then collected it with his right hand, before removing the bails in motion.
The decision was referred to the third umpire for check, before the replays eventually confirmed that de Kock was just short of his crease.
Sharp work behind the stumps from Jitesh Sharma!

He smashed 90 off just 46 balls, smashing seven towering sixes and five fours, striking at over 195.
