Ramandeep Singh once again showed why he is considered one of the best fielders with his one-handed stunner in the league stage match of the Emerging Asia Cup between India A and Pakistan A. The acrobatic fielder came down running towards the mid-wicket boundary and timed his dive to perfection.
Ramandeep completed the catch just inches above the ground to send back Pakistan opener Yasir Khan for 33 off 22 balls. Ramandeep had shown his brilliant fielding efforts in IPL 2024 and he continued his heroics in the Emerging Asia Cup.
