The Irish wicket-keeper, Coulter Reilly produced a MS Dhoni like stumping to stun the India's Jemimah Rodrigues during the 1st ODI between India and Ireland. The keeper showed her excellent keeping skills and Jemimah was outfoxed for her reckless shot.

India needed 239 runs to take a lead in the ODI series and the side were off to a flying start as stand-in captain, Smriti Mandhana played a vital 41 run knock off just 29 balls and stole the show with the bat. However, once she was dismissed, Harleen Deol followed her soon and everyone expected Jemimah to produce a match-winning show.

But the India batter couldn't resist a loopy delivery from Aimee Maguire and lost her wicket in the process. The left-arm spinner deliberately pitched the ball on the outside the off tramline as Jemimah stepped down the track and was beaten on the turn on offer.

The Irish keeper was too quick to react as she collected the ball swiftly and dislodged the bails in the blink of an eye to dismiss the Indian star who looked dejected.

Jemimah also shown on the field Vs Ireland

She couldn't perform to her best with the bat in hand, but Jemimah was an absolute live-wire on the field when Ireland were batting. She was also involved in a brilliant run-out as there was a bit of miscommunication between Gaby Lewis and Una Raymond-Hoey and the Indian fielder fired in a bullet throw which did the trick for her side.

At the moment, India are 161 for 3, with Pratika Rawal batting at 51, and the team still requires 78 more runs to win.
