Indian Women's Cricket Team wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia pulled off an amazing stumping during the second ODI match against Sri Lanka on Monday. Yastika showed a great presence of mind to dismiss Anushka Sanjeewani for 25 runs. The 21-year-old quickly dislodged the bails after seeing Sanjeewani walk in a leisurely way to the crease after playing the delivery from Deepti Sharma in the 23rd over of the game. The video of the stumping is now going viral on social media.
In the video posted on FanCode's official Twitter account, Yastika can be seen picking up the ball and flicking it back towards the stumps to dismiss Sanjeewani. Sanjeewani probably thought the Indian keeper would not attempt the stumping and did not make any effort to return to the crease in time. The Sri Lankan batter was seen strolling around the crease after defending the delivery from Deepti Sharma. She was ruled run out by the third umpire for 25 off 44 balls. Here's the video of the dismissal.
What separates good keepers from the best? Alertness! @YastikaBhatia showed sheer wit and presence of mind with this "stumping"!

Nilakshi de Silva was the second-highest individual scorer for Sri Lanka as he hit 32 off 62 balls.
