Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss a dangerous-looking Devon Conway in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 semi-final against New Zealand.
After batting first, the Men in Blue lit up the Wankhede Stadium as they posted a massive score of 397 runs thanks to centuries by Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer.
This Kohli century was also his 50th in ODIs as he broke the record of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar. After this batting carnage, New Zealand also managed a decent start as Conway and Rachin Ravindra found regular boundaries.
But with Mohammed Shami coming in the sixth over, the Indian seamer produced the perfect away swinger which took a faint edge. As the ball raced towards the slip cordon, KL Rahul threw in a full-length dive to complete an incredible catch and send Devon Conway back to the pavilion.

After Conway’s wicket, Shami also dismissed Rachin Ravindra in a similar manner at a score of 13 in 22 balls. W ith these two dismissals, Shami has picked up a tally of 18 wickets in just six matches.
