Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Cameron Green, showcased his fielding prowess by pulling off a sensational one-handed catch to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) batter, Angkrish Raghuvanshi in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the iconic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata on Sunday (April 21).
Cameron Green’s spectacular one-handed catch stuns KKR
The game-changing moment unfolded in the sixth over of KKR’s innings, as Raghuvanshi faced a challenging delivery from RCB’s pacer, Yash Dayal. Opting for a lofted shot, Raghuvanshi sent the ball soaring towards the mid-wicket region. However, stationed strategically at mid-wicket, Green sprang into action, tracking the trajectory of the ball with unwavering focus. With impeccable timing and coordination, Green executed a breathtaking leap and plucked the ball out of the air with a single hand, defying gravity in the process.
Despite the momentum of the catch causing him to topple backward, Green maintained a vice-like grip on the ball, securing a pivotal breakthrough for his team. The sheer brilliance of Green’s catch left the RCB camp jubilant, with skipper Faf du Plessis leading the celebrations as he rushed towards the dynamic all-rounder to share in the moment of triumph.
