The youngster celebrated Bevon Jacobs’ catch, but he soon realized that the dismissal would not count as the ball was a free-hit off Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s bowling in the first T20I at Hagley Oval. Earlier, Bhuvneshwar Kumar fared worse on comeback than in the last T20I 4 years ago.
After delivering another short ball, Bhuvneshwar was called for a no-ball, as it was his second short delivery of the over. On the next delivery, Jacobs hit a lofted shot towards long-on, where Nitish Kumar Reddy completed the catch and started celebrating.
Actually, it was a free hit, so Jacobs could not be given out caught. As a result, Nitish had to stop his celebration as New Zealand continued their innings. Now, the clip of the moment went viral online.

Arshdeep Singh uses football skills to run out Bevon Jacobs in stunning fashion
Later in the 18th over, Bevon Jacobs was run out in a surprising way during the first T20I against India at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh showed excellent presence of mind and used his football skills to help India take an important wicket.
Jacobs tried to dive to safety, but his bat was in the air, and he failed to reach the crease in time. After checking, the third umpire ruled him out, as Jacobs had to walk back to the dugout after scoring 31 runs off just 16 balls, including three sixes, against India in the first T20I.

He recovered under the supervision of the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Reddy bowled his full four overs, giving away 40 runs without taking a wicket at an economy rate of 10.00. However, he bowled an important 15th over without conceding a boundary, slowing down New Zealand’s scoring.
The hosts finished with a huge total of 225/4 in 20 overs. Reddy will now come out to bat at number seven, as India has already lost four wickets and they still need 74 runs in 41 balls to win the first T20I.
