Sun Feb 09 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Gill’s Spectaular Catch Highlights India’s Dominance in Second ODI Against England
**Cuttack, India:** India strengthened their grip on the three-match ODI series against England with a stunning display of fielding and controlled bowling in the second match at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday. Vice-captain Shubman Gill’s breathtaking running catch to dismiss England’s Harry Brook was the highlight of the day, leaving commentators in awe.
Brook, who was on 31, looked to accelerate the innings after a slow start when he mistimed a slower ball bowled by Harshit Rana. Gill, positioned at mid-off, executed a spectacular diving catch, running back and taking the catch with both hands. The dismissal broke a crucial partnership and shifted momentum back in India’s favor.
Rana, who took his fourth wicket of the series, struggled early in the match along with Mohammed Shami, allowing England to establish a strong start in the powerplay. However, India fought back effectively, with Varun Chakaravarthy claiming his maiden ODI wicket and Ravindra Jadeja restricting the run flow and eventually dismissing Ben Duckett (65).
England reached 168/3 at the time of Brook’s dismissal, with Jos Buttler joining Joe Root at the crease. India, who won the first ODI, currently leads the series 1-0. A win for England in the final match is crucial for them to regain confidence ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy, particularly after their recent 4-1 T20I series loss to India.
