NEW DELHI: In a stunning display of athleticism, Lucknow Super Giants spinner Ravi Bishnoi pulled off a miracle catch off his own bowling to get rid of Gujarat Titans’ Kane Williamson in Match 21 in Lucknow on Sunday.
The gravity defying effort from Bishnoi took everyone by surprise as the entire Ekana stadium erupted after the mind-boggling take.
The incident took place in the 8th over of Titans’ 164 chase when Williamson was looking to go for an on-drive off a Bishnoi in-drifter.
As Williamson failed to get to the pitch of the ball, he ended up chipping it in the air. Bishnoi, who saw the ball coming, threw himself to his right in his followthrough and the ball stuck to his right hand.
“Ohhh, that’s an absolute stunner! I don’t know how he has managed to pluck that out of thin air but he has. What a reflex catch from Ravi Bishnoi,” said an elated Murali Karthik on air.
