Safraz Ahmed thought he had middled the ball well as he went for a big hit off Kedar Jadhav. He was almost right. The ball appeared to be sailing sailing over the boundary and just before it crossed into safety, in came Manish Pandey.

Pandey was on as a subsitute for Hardik Pandya who was taken off in a stretcher due to a lower back injury. But the replacement had his moment under the sun as he took a brilliant catch to send back the Pakistani skipper.?

Here's what social media had to say about Pandey's stunner and India's performance on the whole:
