Australia opener David Warner is known not just for his batting heroics but also the brilliant athleticism he shows on the field. The 35-year-old has taken many a stunning catch and during Australia's win over Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI of their three-match series on Tuesday, he took yet another blinder. In the 16th over of Sri Lanka's innings, Dhananjaya de Silva came down the track to Ashton Agar and looked to chip it over mid-on. But unfortunately for him, it was Warner fielding there and the Australia star ran to his right and stuck his left arm up to pluck the ball out of the air and send the Sri Lanka batter packing.
The catch was so good that it had Agar jumping up in joy and then holding his head in his hands in disbelief.
