Sai Sudharsan sustained a hand injury as he completed a catch to dismiss John Campbell in a surprising turn of events on Day 2 of the second Test between India and the West Indies in Delhi on Saturday, October 11. As a result, Campbell departed for 10 runs off 25 balls as the tourists lost their first wicket for 21.
The incident took place in the 8th over of the West Indies’ first innings. Ravindra Jadeja bowled a tossed-up delivery outside off, and Campbell nailed the slog sweep, but Sudharsan completed the catch at forward short leg as he tried to protect himself. The ball stuck in his hands and got support from his helmet to hold onto the catch.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir looked surprised by the unique dismissal, with a rare smile on his face, after the Indian teammates celebrated their first scalp. Sudharsan soon left the field for medical attention after sustaining a blow to his fingers. Devdutt Padikkal walked in as a substitute fielder.
