The internet recently watched what many are hailed as the best catch ever made by a wicketkeeper, in an unbelievable moment that defies belief. The incredible achievement took place following a sequence of events that left players and onlookers alike in complete shock during a Kerala Premier League match between KPA 123 and KCSA Calicut.
The only difference was they were using a red tennis ball for transparency, so the KPA 123 keeper was thrust into the limelight when he dove to his right in an attempt to make a catch. But the ball bounced right out of his glove.
What happened next transcends the boundaries of everyone’s imagination. After fumbling the initial catch, the ball landed on the keeper’s back. As the ball began to roll up his spine, the keeper went into a seal-like mode, balancing the ball on his back before nonchalantly putting his arms by his side and trapping it, completing what can only be described as the most absurd and exceptional catch.
The post has garnered several views and reactions. People were stunned as well as amused to see the match.
