Trent Boult catch: Twitter went to a frenzy after New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult took a sensational one handed catch to dismiss Bangladesh’s Liton Das. Apart from the cricketing fans, the International Cricket Council (ICC) also defined the catch as ‘ridiculously good’.
It happened in the third and final ODI of the three match series. New ball bowler, Matt Henry bowled a good length ball aimed to the body of Liton Das. The frontline batsman tried nudging it away, but took a leading edge of it. Boult fielding at third man, had little time to adjust and had to make the precise anticipation.

This isn’t the first time Trent Boult has done something spectacular on the field, as he has also showcased his athleticism in the IPL. The left-arm pacer took another one handed blinder to dismiss Virat Kohli in the 2018 edition of the IPL, which left everyone astonished.

The Kiwis now have the three-match T20I series coming up against Bangladesh as they look to stamp their authority their as well.
