A former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) player gave a testimony to his incredible fielding prowess by taking a sensational catch in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL). During the match between Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder, George Garton, who was with RCB during the IPL 2021 season, took a catch to dismiss Moises Henriques.
During the 13th over of the match, left-arm spinner Tom Andrews bowled a longitude ball outside off stump. Sixers captain Moises Henriques attempted to drive it through the covers and made clean contact.
However, the ball went into the air and George Garton, positioned on the cover, executed a spectacular diving attempt to his left. Garton’s lightning reflexes were on full display as he made one of the most notable catches of the season.
After securing the sack, Garton threw the ball in celebration, receiving well-deserved praise from his teammates for avoiding what seemed destined to be a boundary.
Moises Henriques was dismissed for 29 runs off 30 balls, a crucial moment as he was set to guide his team to a strong position.
