NEW DELHI: India’s young sensation Tilak Varma pulled off a breathtaking catch to send West Indies batsman Johnson Charles packing during the first T20I match on Thursday.

During the eighth over, Charles attempted a slog sweep off Kuldeep Yadav, but failed to connect it well.
Positioned at deep mid-wicket, Varma exhibited remarkable athleticism by sprinting at least 15 meters to his left, dived, and grabbed a stupendous catch.
