IND vs SA, 2nd T20I: India's star batter Tilak Varma was surprised after David Miller took a brilliant catch to get him out during the second T20I on Sunday. The incident occurred on the last ball of the eighth over, where Tilak mistimed an inside-out shot as the ball went towards cover. Although it looked like he had played a decent shot David Miller took a sensational catch.

Miller used his right hand to take that overhead catch. He proved why he is considered as one of the best fielders. Instead of stopping the ball, he showed off great reflexes and sent Tilak back to the pavilion. Tilak had scored 20 runs off as many balls, where he had also smashed four fours but then Aiden Markram dismissed him.

After his dismissal, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side were reeling at 45/4 in eight overs. The team suffered a top-order batting collapse as batters like Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav couldn't score in double digits.
