Varun Chakaravarthy to Tim Seifert, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Is that the World Cup for India? The celebrations seem like it. Indian flags flying high in Ahmedabad. Ishan Kishan with yet another crunch catch near the boundary ropes. The length was short and Seifert's natural instinct was to play the pull. Skewed it off the thick inside half and sent it flat towards cow corner. Ishan Kishan - He not only had to run to his right, but had to restrain his momentum at the last moment to stay inside the ropes. Caught the ball, took a while to regain his balance and then took the rebound with ease. Tim Seifert c Ishan Kishan b Varun Chakaravarthy 52(26) [4s-2 6s-5]
