Kranti Gaud pulled off a moment of brilliance to give India a flying start against South Africa in the ongoing Women's World Cup match in Visakhapatnam .
After scoring a century in the previous match, Tazmin Brits departed for a duck.

It was a length ball from Kranti Gaud, just outside the off stump. Tazmin Brits charged down to drive it hard but failed to keep it down.
In her follow-through, Kranti thrust out her left hand and took a stunning reflex catch. She fell flat on the ground, clutching the ball, as her teammates rushed in to celebrate.
Since bursting onto the international scene less than five months ago, Kranti Gaud has swiftly evolved into India’s go-to new-ball weapon.

Earlier, Richa Ghosh made a vibrant 94 after another top-order malfunction as India recovered to post a competitive 251 against South Africa in the Women’s World Cup match on Thursday.
Ghosh’s 77-ball innings (11x4, 4x6) showed her teammates how to make use of a rather easy-paced pitch with her seventh ODI fifty.
Kranti's rapid riseIn a high-stakes Women’s World Cup clash against Pakistan on Sunday, Kranti Gaud underlined her growing importance to the team, returning excellent figures of 3 for 20 in 10 overs, including three maidens, to derail Pakistan’s chase of 247.
Her performance set up an emphatic 88-run victory and earned Gaud her first Player-of-the-Match award at the very venue where she made her national debut in May this year.
For Gaud, it’s been a dream start. Hailing from Ghuwara, a town in Bundelkhand, Madhya Pradesh, she has risen through the ranks with quiet determination.
Just last year, she was a net bowler for Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League.
The UP Warriorz then snapped her up for a base price of ₹10 lakh at the auction.
When injuries to Renuka Thakur and Pooja Vastrakar opened the doors for her in the national setup, Gaud seized the opportunity with both hands.
A sensational run in the away series against England, which included a six-wicket haul in the series-deciding third ODI earlier this year, sealed her place in the squad — and since then, she’s only gone from strength to strength.
