The incident occurred at the 9.5-over mark at Hnry Stadium in Wellington, as India chased New Zealand's target of 199. Although Phillips made an acrobatic dive, Abhishek's shot cleared him and raced to the boundary.
While Glenn Phillips is known for his athletic fielding, Simon Doull questioned whether such an elaborate attempt was necessary given the ball's trajectory and the fielder's position.
Harbhajan Singh subsequently reposted a post on X that criticised Glenn Phillips' approach, echoing the view that the dive was unnecessary.
Glenn phillips is very performative fielder, there was literally no need to do that even commentators thought it was unnecessary. t.co/Yp7dt0KIna

India's chase was the second-most balls remaining in a successful pursuit of 190 or more, behind Estonia's chase of 192 against Cyprus in Episkopi in 2024, which finished with 42 balls remaining.

“Pretty tough to stop those guys when they're going. We have seen it before, we have seen it in the IPL. Obviously, witnessed it here in New Zealand tonight,” Santner said.
“I think the way that Daryl and BJ kind of got that partnership together, we tracked for 200 there, and obviously 200 is nice. It's a good score on a pitch like that,” he said.
“The powerplay is such a massive part of this game, and they showed, I guess, how to bat in the powerplay,” he added.
