CSK Star Takes One Handed-Stunner To Dismiss Ruturaj Gaikwad In 1st India vs South Africa ODI. Watch
South Africa star Dewald Brevis took a stunning catch during the side's first ODI of the three-match series against India in Ranchi on Sunday.
South Africa and Chennai Super Kings star player Dewald Brevis took a stunning catch during the country's first ODI of the three-match series against India in Ranchi on Sunday. Right-arm pacer Ottneil Baartman bowled a good-length delivery outside off-stump. Ruturaj Gaikwad drove it hard on the off-side, but Brevis timed his dive to perfection to take a sensational catch. He was stationed at backward point and flew to his right to take a one-handed catch, leaving the crowd stunned.
"In the air and taken. That is an absolute blinder. Dewald Brevis, take a bow!" said former India player Deep Dasgupta in commentary.
Former India captain Ravi Shastri, who was also on-air, said, "Wow! That is catching flies. He has plucked that out of thin air. Ruturaj Gaikwad will count himself unlucky. It was timed sweetly. Look at this for reflex. This was travelling. Wow! Flying across to his right, taking it with his right hand."
