India vs West Indies 2nd Test: Sai Sudharsan, with his athleticism, ended a promising start for the visitors as he pulled off an audaciously stunning catch to remove West Indies opener John Campbell on Day 2 of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday.

Stationed at short leg, Sudharsan incredibly demonstrated his reflexes as he clung onto a sharp catch as Campbell played the shot with a moment of hesitation off Ravindra Jadeja's bowling.

In the 8th over of the West Indies' first innings, Sudharsan completed the catch at forward short leg. Campbell lofted Jadeja's tossed-up delivery outside off stump with a well-executed slog sweep, but to his bad luck, Sudharsan's intuitions proved to be his undoing.

The audacious catch even stunned India's head coach Gautam Gambhir, who gave a rare smile while bowling coach Morne Morkel's surprise was also palpable.

However, the jubilation was short-lived, as Sudharsan soon exited the field due to a painful blow to his fingers, seeking medical attention. With Sudharsan nursing his injury, Devdutt Padikkal was called upon to replace him as a substitute fielder.
