Mitchell Marsh took an amazing catch, caught the ball in the air in just 0.7 seconds.
Australia's team made a great start on the third day of the Gaba Test. The Kangaroo team scored 445 runs while batting first. Then wreaked havoc with bowling. Mitchell Starc took two wickets in his first two overs and destroyed the top order. One of his two successes was Shubman Gill, whose amazing catch was taken by Mitchell Marsh. Marsh, standing in the slip, caught the ball in just 0.7 seconds. As soon as he took the catch, the noise of Australian fans echoed in the field.
This is how Marsh caught the catch.
In response to Australia's 445 runs, the Indian team had a very bad start. On the second ball itself, Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for the third time in this series. After this, his next victim was Shubman Gill. He came to bowl again in the third over of the innings. He bowled the first ball on the outside off. Gill went to play it and the ball took the edge and went towards the gully. Mitchell Marsh standing there jumped and caught the ball in 0.7 reaction time.
