Cardiff (England): Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne, who is playing for England's domestic T20 league team -- Glamorgan, took a 'jaw-dropping' catch in a south Group match of the ongoing Vitality Blast in Cardiff on Friday.
The incident occurred during the 10th over of Gloucestershire's 141-run chase when a southpaw batter Ben Charlesworth smashed the full-length delivery bowled by Mason Crane towards long-on. While it seemed that the ball might race away to the fence for a four, Labuschangne took a leaf out of Jonty Rhodes' book to leave everyone shocked.
The speciality of the catch was the distance he covered to reach the catch and the perfection of the timing of the jump to make that stunner possible. After the catch, he was just running everywhere in awe until his teammates surrounded and hugged him for his sheer brilliance on the field.
The video clip of the catch went viral on social media and users started reacting to it within a few minutes.
"I've seen some awe catches in the past in international and county cricket but I have to say I think that is the best I've ever seen. Get in there Marnus my man take a bow," Steven Williams (@steven1984will), a random social media user, reacted on X handle.
