"One Of The Best Catches...": England Cricketer Rob Keogh Takes A One-Handed Wonder Catch In T20 Blast. Watch

A stupendous fielding effort rarely goes unnoticed on the cricket field. However, what England's Rob Keogh achieved for Northamptonshire Steelbacks in their T20 Blast match against Leicestershire Foxes was much more than that. His one-handed effort to dismiss Rishi Patel off Chinaman bowler Freddie Heldreich was so brilliant that the Vitality T20 Blast tweeted: "Quite possibly one of the best catches you'll ever see @RobKeogh91, take a bow." The catch happened in the 12th over of the match. With Leicestershire chasing a huge target of 228, their No. 5 right-handed batter Rishi Patel went for an expansive hoick off Heldreich.

The ball looked like sailing over deep mid-wicket until Keogh intervened. He outstretched himself and took a brilliant catch to dismiss Patel.
