After taking a superb flying catch to remove Theunis de Bruyn, Wriddhiman Saha produced a juggling act to end Faf du Plessis’ stubborn knock of five off 54 deliveries on Sunday.
In the 24th over of South Africa’s second innings, Ravichandran Ashwin managed to find the inside edge of Du Plessis’ bat, and Saha juggled the ball multiple times before diving forward to complete the catch.

Shreevats Goswami, the wicketkeeper-batsman of team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL, was full of praise for Saha for his outstanding work behind the stumps.
“No doubt that wriddhiman saha is the best keeper in the world right now! Not saying this because he took those catches, The best regardless – period!,” Goswami tweeted.
