During the match between London Spirit and Oval Invincibles in The Hundred (Women’s) on Sunday, Deepti Sharma and Charlie Dean shared a heartfelt moment after the latter grabbed a one-handed catch off Deepti’s bowling with both of them representing London spirit in the fourth edition of The Hundred.
Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts on Dean’s spectacular catch, while a few also remembered a controversial moment they shared back in 2022. The duo was involved in a massive controversy during an ODI match between India and England at Lord’s. Chasing a target of 170, the hosts found themselves in trouble at 118 for nine. However, Charlie Dean and Freya Davies had put together a 35-run stand for the last wicket before Deepti ran-out Dean at the non-striker’s end when the English batter backed up a bit too much. The form of dismissal sparked a debate about the laws and spirit of the game.
Playing for London Spirit in The Hundred, Dean pulled off a brilliant catch as Deepti Sharma got the crucial wicket of Paige Schofield. It was a one-handed stunner by Charlie Dean off Deepti Sharma’s bowling. Deepti Sharma had a brilliant day both with bat and ball, initially scoring 44 runs and later claiming three wickets, finishing with figures of 3 for 18.
Following the heartwarming moment between Deepti Sharma and Charlie Dean, fans on various social media platforms reacted positively. Some referred to Dean as “Spider-Man” and “The Flying Woman” for her stunning one-handed catch. Deepti Sharma’s crafty bowling was also mentioned. Charlie Dean’s one-handed screamer was potentially regarded as the catch of the tournament on social media platforms.

Fans also drew similarities to another Indian off-spinner and English player duo who faced the same kind of situation. In the 2019 Indian Premier League match, Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Jos Buttler at the non-striking end through a run-out on the non-striker’s end, later both represented Rajasthan Royals in 2022, where Buttler took a brilliant catch off Ashwin’s bowling, sharing a similar moment with Charlie Dean and Deepti Sharma.
