The Ball Got Stuck Between Steve Smith’s Legs But It Didn’t Stop Saha From ‘Catching’ It

SW Staff

Indian wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha has taken some stunning catches in the ongoing India-Australia series. 

There was that stunning one-handed effort in the first Test in Pune.

And then there was the full-length diving catch in Bengaluru.

And on Thursday in Ranchi, he went one step further in trying to prove what a good wicket-keeper he is. In the 80th over, with Steve Smith just short of a century, he went back on his back-foot, tried to flick behind square but the ball got stuck between his legs. 

Over-eager to take the “catch”, Saha rushed to Smith and, well, this happened:

ESPNCricinfo described it a ball-grab scene that they can’t elaborate on further.

It had umpire Ian Gould in splits.

Twitter, of course, sprang into life. (Warning: Some R-rated content ahead)

Amid all this, the only person who didn’t seem amused at all was Steve Smith. Can you blame him though?
