On Day 4 of the ongoing second Test in Kanpur, Rohit Sharma took a sensational catch to sent back Liton Das, while Siraj followed his skipper with an even better effort to dismiss Shakib Al Hasan.
In the 50th over of the match bowled by Siraj, Liton stepped out, hoping to hit over the mid-on fielder Rohit Sharma, but the 37-year-old timed his jump to perfection and plucked it out of the air with his right hand. The right-handed batsman couldn't get enough elevation and the Indian skipper produced a piece of magic to end Liton's stay at the crease for 13 (30).
WHAT. A. CATCH 👏👏

Six overs later, Siraj too grabbed a splendid catch off Ravichandran Ashwin's bowling to dismiss Shakib. The left-handed batsman stepped out and tried to clear the boundary, but completely mistimed his shot and the ball ballooned up in the air.

Unbelievable catch 😲🔥 pic.twitter.com/TdBgoouFhF
Siraj, who was at mid-off, ran back couple of yards before diving backwards to take a one-handed scorcher. The 30-year-old couldn't get under the ball hence stretched his palms, arched his back and managed to take his hand behind his head to complete the catch.
Another outstanding catch and this time it is who picks up a tough one to dismiss Shakib Al Hasan.

At lunch, Bangladesh had reached 205 for the loss of six wickets. Mominul Haque is batting at 106 from 185 balls, including 17 furs and a six. The 33-year-old reached his 13th Test century in 172 deliveries. He is accompanied by Mehidy Hasan at the crease.
The first day of the second Test saw only 35 overs bowled, with Bangladesh at 107/3, because of persistent rain in Kanpur. Day 2 and Day 3 were washed out but the fourth day started brightly for team India with Jasprit Bumrah dismissing Mushfiur Rahim in the 41st over.
