In and of itself, it was a stunning grab. Yet to complete the dismissal of a batsman, a fielder doesn’t just have to catch the ball but keep it under control within the field of play. Trent Boult learned as much in the 2019 ODI World Cup final at Lord’s, when he caught Ben Stokes but then trod on the boundary rope to give him six runs. Like Boult then, Yadav was heading towards the rope. That led him to the next stage of his mission.
Avoiding the boundary rope was key as Yadav tried to balance while keeping hold of the ball. His first step, with his right foot, was OK – it was the one furthest away from the boundary.
