Mohammed Siraj
What a start to Day 4 as Indian fielders put on a show at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur against the Bangladesh batters. After Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's stunning one-handed catch at mid-off, no one expected Mohammed Siraj, of all people, to pull off a one-handed stunner as well.

Fans were thrilled with the catch taken by the Indian captain, but Siraj took it a step further. In the 55.6th over, it was a great piece of bowling from R. Ashwin, who anticipated that Shakib Al Hasan was coming after him. Ashwin tossed the ball up, getting it to dip sharply. Shakib stepped out but was completely beaten in flight. His bottom hand came off the bat as he reached in front of his body for the lofted drive, and he ended up miscuing it in the air.
Siraj backpedalled at mid-off but wasn't in a great position, with the ball set to fall behind him. However, he arched his back and caught it one-handed behind his body, shocking everyone once again.
