North Zone wicket-keeper Prabhsimran Singh pulled off a brilliant one-handed catch during the Deodhar Trophy match against South Zone to leave both experts and fans stunned. During the 39th over of the match, South Zone batter Ricky Bhui tried to play an unconventional shot off pacer Mayank Yadav but ended up miscuing it completely. The ball was travelling fast towards Prabhsimran but he pulled off a full-stretch dive to complete the catch. The video of the catch was shared by the Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI) on Twitter and it has gone viral in no time.
Prabhsimran will be a part of the India squad for the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games.
