“Kapil’s catch itself is stunning run back keep an eye on ball take throw off casually done by him. “It’s just ridiculous athleticism from Surya dealing with that moveable boundary rope. If he had let go of it we could have lost like we did when Kapil made such a dismissal,” said Binny speaking at Kensington Oval on Saturday.
