Kranti Goud took a surprising catch.
Kranti Gaud Catch Video: The story of ‘Hand of God’ and its importance in the world of football is not hidden from anyone. The great footballer Diego Maradona had scored a goal against England in the World Cup 1986, which was scored with his hand but the referee could not see it. Since then that goal has been known as ‘Hand of God’. Now after 39 years, the Indian team also witnessed a ‘Hand of God’ like scene in the ICC Women’s World Cup, but here God does not mean God but young fast bowler Kranti Goud, who took a surprising catch of her own ball with one hand.
This miracle of revolution was seen against South Africa. The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 league match was played against India and South Africa on Thursday 9 October in Visakhapatnam, in which Team India scored 251 runs. In response, when South Africa started batting, it could not get the start as expected and the reason for this was 22 year old fast bowler Kranti Goud.
Kranti’s surprising catch
Kranti, who gave only 1 run in his first over, dismissed South African opener Tazmin Britts on the second ball of the second over. But the way Kranti took this wicket, it surprised everyone. As soon as Kranti bowled the ball, Brits sent the shot back towards the bowler. The shot was fast and towards Kranti’s left hand. But in his follow-through itself, the young Indian bowler extended his left arm and took this quick catch. Kranti’s astonishing feat stunned every Briton, while the entire Indian team surrounded the young player.
Catch video goes viral
ICC also shared the video of Kranti’s amazing catch on its social media accounts, but even before that its video and photo went viral on social media. Raunak Kapoor, who was doing commentary during this time, also made this catch special. He reminded the fans of Maradona’s historic feat by calling this catch of Kranti as ‘Hand of God’.
