Harleen Deol’s ‘magical moment’ at DY Patil Stadium
Carey’s brilliant dismissal in the 10th over was proof of tactical discipline. Deepti Sharma And Harleen Deol’s sheer hustle. Deepti bowled a breathtaking, flighted ball outside the off-stump, trapping Carey in a huge slog-sweep which she could not reach. The ball caught the end of the bat and bounced rapidly into the evening sky towards the mid-on region. Harleen, sensing the opportunity, immediately turned her back to the pitch and began a rapid retreat of 15 yards, tracking the trajectory of the ball’s fall over her shoulder with hunter focus.
As the ball threatened to fall out of his reach, he made a perfectly timed vertical leap and plucked the ball out of the air at full tilt. His speed pushed him backwards, but he showed remarkable body control to bend his elbows and roll safely to the turf, ensuring the ball remained firmly in his grip. For the debutants in the team watching from the boundary, it was a vivid lesson in the technique of ‘back-to-the-ball’ catching, proving that no chance is worthless if the fielder has the courage to chase it. This ‘blinder’ effectively restricted Mumbai to 57/4, taking away their primary base and ensuring that the Warriors remained in complete control of the contest.
