The Indian cricket team is currently out of action. After returning from Australia tour, Team India will return from the T20 series against England after a few days. But the action is still going on in Indian cricket because Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 has reached its decisive point and here such a miracle has been seen, seeing which it is difficult to believe your eyes. This amazing thing happened during the second semi-final match between Vidarbha and Maharashtra, in which wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma took a catch which is not seen everyday on the cricket field. That too, when Jitesh had played a stormy innings.

In the second semi-final match of the tournament in Vadodara on Thursday, January 16, Jitesh showed this amazing feat at the very beginning of Maharashtra's innings. In response to the target of 381 runs set by Vidarbha, Maharashtra needed a great start from its captain Rituraj Gaikwad but he failed in it and Jitesh Sharma became the reason for this. In the third over of the innings itself, Rituraj's pull shot on a short pitched ball by Darshan Nalkande did not hit properly and the ball rose high in the air.

Jitesh became superman

It was only here that Jitesh's magic could be seen. This catch was bounced towards short fine leg, for which Jitesh started making long runs from his place. Jitesh, who has played for Team India, ran about 14-15 meters long on his left side and then made a full length dive while running. Before the ball could fall on the ground, Jitesh, while flying in the air, spread both his hands and caught the ball in his gloves. Every player of Vidarbha ran straight towards Jitesh and picked him up and hugged him. Rituraj Gaikwad was out after scoring only 7 runs.

created a stir in batting too

Before this tremendous catch, Jitesh had also done wonders with his bat. This right-handed batsman scored 51 runs in just 33 balls, in which he also hit 3 fours and 3 sixes. Despite this, this innings of Jitesh was not discussed much, because the three batsmen who came before him made a lot of noise. Both Vidarbha's openers Dhruv Shorey and Yash Rathore scored excellent centuries. Karun Nair, the captain of the team and proved to be the most powerful batsman this season, scored unbeaten 88 runs in just 44 balls. Nair missed his fifth consecutive century but once again no one could get him out. In this entire tournament, he has been out only once and has scored 752 runs.
