IND vs SA, 2nd Test: Markram takes one-handed stunner to dismiss Nitish Reddy | WATCH

South Africa are again on top of India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati when Aiden Markram pulled a catch out of thin air to pile on more misery on the hosts. Markram's catch sent back Nitish Reddy as India's sixth wicket of the morning. The batter was caught off guard by extra bounce on the ball by Protea pacer Marco Jansen. The ball went to gully region where Markram swiftly moved to his right side and caught a one-handed stunner. Reddy, playing his first match of the two-Test series, could manage only 10 runs before being dismissed. Have a look at the catch below:
