(X)
Team India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin came up with a top-class catch to get rid of New Zealand batter Daryll Mitchell in the second innings of the third and final Test against the Kiwis at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
Ashwin peddled backwards before latching onto the ball with outstretched arms, and managed to hold on to the leather despite going to the ground to send Mitchell back to the hut.
The Kiwi middle-order batter was on 21 off 44 deliveries before Ashwin’s blinder brought Mitchell’s innings to a halt.

New Zealand, who had won the toss and opted to have a bat first, put up a total of 235 runs riding on fifties from Mitchell and Will Young in the first innings of the game.
India replied with 263 runs thanks to half-centuries from Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, despite having to endure a calamitous end to play on the opening day of the Test which saw the hosts lose three wickets in the gap of 15 minutes ahead of stumps on Friday.
India managed to put up a 28-run lead before being bundled out by the Kiwi bowlers as spinner Ajaz Patel bagged a fifer.
