Ruturaj Gaikwad gets rare hat-trick of reprieves as West Indies drop him in 3 straight overs

During the third and final match of the series on Saturday, October 3, India chose to bat first after winning the coin toss and experienced a rocky beginning when Jayden Seales removed Shubman Gill for a single run and dismissed Virat Kohli for a golden duck in quick succession. While Rohit Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad attempted to stabilize the innings, Gaikwad enjoyed a remarkable streak of luck by surviving three dropped catches across seventeen deliveries in three consecutive overs.

The missed opportunities involved fielders and wicketkeepers failing to secure difficult chances off the bowling of Alzarri Joseph and Keemo Paul, allowing the batsman to remain at the crease as the team total moved to fifty-nine runs for two wickets after fifteen overs.
