Marnus Labuschagne has long been recognized as one of the finest fielders in the world of cricket.

Representing Glamorgan in England’s T20 Blast 2024 competition, Labuschagne has consistently demonstrated his fielding brilliance, earning accolades and admiration from fans and fellow players alike.
Marnus Labuschagne’s brilliant catch in T20 Blast
In a match against Gloucestershire, Labuschagne showcased his exceptional fielding skills with a spectacular one-handed catch to dismiss Ben Charlesworth. The game, which took place on Thursday, saw Glamorgan ultimately lose in a last-ball thriller, but it was Labuschagne’s remarkable catch that stole the spotlight.
As Gloucestershire began their 10th over needing 96 runs from 66 balls, Charlesworth attempted to take on England bowler Mason Crane‘s spin. The shot, however, fell short, and Labuschagne, initially far from the ball’s landing spot, committed to a dive and caught it with his right hand. The fielder celebrated by jogging off and holding the ball up in the air, quickly mobbed by his excited Glamorgan teammates.
“Oh! That is unbelievable. That is one of the greatest catches you will ever see,” the commentator exclaimed. The co-commentator added, “Oh my goodness. That is incredible. What a catch that is, one-handed, full stretch. Brilliant catch.”
