Watch: Brilliant stumping by the wicket-keeper in Ranji Trophy

Watch: Brilliant stumping by the wicket-keeper in Ranji Trophy: Andhra’s Wicket keeper Srikar Bharat showed his acrobatic skills during a Ranji Trophy match between Punjab and Andhra. Jiwanjot Singh walked down the track but ended up missing the ball completely. Wicket-keeper Bharat grabbed the opportunity with both hands and successfully stumped the Punjab opener, courtesy a brilliant back of the hand throw. Hanumappa Shivraj picked up his first wicket, thanks to an exceptional stump work.

Punjab wrapped up an easy seven-wicket win within two days and moved to the second spot in the points table. In a low-scoring encounter, 16 wickets fell on the second day as Punjab romped to a target of 67 in the 20th over, with Mandeep Singh top-scoring with an unbeaten 22.

Punjab were shot  for 147 after beginning the day on 128 for 7, with Prasanth Kumar taking two of the three wickets to finish with figures of 4 for 14. Andhra began their second innings in spirited fashion, their openers – Srikar Bharat (39) and Prasanth (29) – adding 53 to cut the deficit to 14.

However, Rajwinder Singh and Sarabjit Ladda tottered away at the top order as Andhra struggled to form vital partnerships; the last six wickets contributed just 24 runs. Gurkeerat Singh followed his four-for in the first innings with a five-wicket haul in the second, taking the last five wickets to fall to restrict Andhra’s lead to 66.
