After winning the first T20I quite handsomely by 61 runs, Team India has been pushed to the wall in the 2nd T20I by South Africa in Gqeberha. Batting first the visitors lost early wickets in the form of openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, captain Suryakumar Yadav followed the trail and got dismissed cheaply. Tilak Varma tried to alleviate India from early damage, but he too perished courtesy of an incredible catch by David Miller.

David Miller Takes An Incredible One-Handed Catch To Dismiss Tilak Varma
With his sharp reflexes, David Miller plucked one in thin air to dismiss Tilak Varma, who was batting at 20 and was looking forward to accelerate. The moment of brilliance emanated on the final delivery of the 8th over, bowled by Aiden Markram. Varma made the right connection but Miller pulled off a wonderful improvisation in a fraction of a second.
Take a look at the blinder to believe:
A couple of reactions on the sublime catch:
Following the departure of Tilak Varma, set batter Axar Patel also could not hold on for long and yet another collapse ensued. At per the latest update, India are 101/6 after 17 overs. India are leading the 4-match T20I series, 1-0. The team won the first match of the series by 61 runs in Durban on Friday. The Men-In-Blue however could not repeat the brilliant batting from the other day in the 2nd T20I. Consequently, the onus would be on the bowlers to protect a below-par total and solidify the lead to 2-0.
