There’s no doubt that catches in cricket send instant relief to the fielding side. As the phrase goes ‘catches win matches’, the fielding side does anything to secure the catch and while doing so, some of the players end up grabbing the most outrageous of these catches, and Steven Mullaney‘s catch was no different, though, he used the non-striker to avoid dropping the catch.

Mullaney’s catch was from the T20 Vitality Blast in England. On Tuesday (June 20), Nottinghamshire locked horns with Leicestershire and Mullaney represented the former in the North Group match of the tournament.

The incident happened during the 13th over of Leicestershire‘s innings. Mullaney, after delivering the ball to Nottinghamshire’s captain Colin Ackermann got the chance to secure a caught and bowled. But the ball juggled and fell toward non-striker Wiaan Mulder, before deflecting toward Mullaney and he did not let go of it. The bizarre catch did not leave Ackerman in bewilderment as he simply smiled and took a long walk back to the dugout.
