In the 27th over of the World Cup encounter between India and West Indies, Carlos Brathwaite, known for his destructive batting, edged the ball towards the slip region. However, Dhoni defied gravity with a sensational diving catch to dismiss Brathwaite. The crowd at Old Trafford witnessed a moment of sheer brilliance as Dhoni soared through the air to secure the catch, displaying his incredible athleticism and agility. It was a pivotal moment that showcased Dhoni's impact both as a batsman and a wicket-keeper.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing match, India A is chasing a target of 124 runs set by United Arab Emirates A. After 11 overs, India A has scored 52 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Sai Sudharsan contributed 8 runs off 8 balls before being dismissed by Muhammad Jawadullah, while Abhishek Sharma scored a quick 19 runs off 14 balls before getting out to Ali Naseer. Nikin Jose and Yash Dhull are currently at the crease, batting on 13 and 10 runs respectively. India A still needs 72 runs to win the match. The bowlers from United Arab Emirates A, including Jawadullah and Naseer, have been successful in picking up early wickets and creating pressure on the Indian batsmen. The game is finely balanced, and it will be an exciting finish to see if India A can chase down the target.
