USA player Steven Taylor left everyone stunned with his magnificent piece of fielding during the T20 World Cup match against Pakistan in Dallas on Thursday.
USA pacer Saurabh Netravalkar delivered a well-executed good length delivery that exhibited late away swing. Mohammad Rizwan, caught off guard by the unexpected movement, remained stationary in his crease as the ball found the outside edge of his bat.
The resulting edge seemed to be losing momentum as it approached the solitary slip fielder. However, Taylor showcased his athleticism and reflexes by diving to his right, successfully scooping the ball with one hand just before it could make contact with the ground, completing a remarkable catch.
