India didn't have much to cheer about in their opening Twenty20 defeat to the Black Caps last night with the exception of a stunning catch by Dinesh Karthik.
The Black Caps thumped the visitors by 80 runs at Westpac Stadium thanks largely to an impressive 43-ball 84 from opener Tim Seifert.
In New Zealand's innings of 219 for six, all-rounder Daryl Mitchell, on T20 debut, sent one down the ground which looked destined for his first six on the international stage.
However Karthik pulled off a remarkable catch by throwing the ball back over the boundary before diving forward and complete the dismissal.
"This could be great" stated a stunned Sky TV commentator Ian Smith as replays checked if Karthik's catch was legal.
