England women cricketer Danielle Wyatt describes the de Villiers catch as unreal
It is no secret that Wyatt is indeed a fan of the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore pulled out an amazing victory against the Surisers Hyderabad in their must-win encounter to keep their playoffs hope alive. Rising to the occasion in the game was AB de Villiers as the protea demolished the bowlers batting first and then pulled out a magnificent catch on the boundary line to dismiss the SRH opener, Alex Hales.
Hales was looking threatening during the run chase as he has already hit a few fours and sixes in his 24-ball 37 run innings. However, in the 8th over of the game, Hales connected a Moeen Ali delivery which looked like as is it will go downtown. However, there was de Villiers stationed on the boundary, defying almost all the physics laws of gravity, the 34-year old timed his jump to perfection, and pulled out a terrific one-handed catch.
Saw Superman: Kohli
The unbelievable stuff from de Villiers left everyone in disbelief. The commentators, as well as the fans, were short of words to describe the catch. RCB skipper Virat Kohli who himself is known to pluck out the catches from the thin air took to Twitter to laud the catch by de Villiers. On Twitter, Kohli said that he saw the Superman on the field, adding the picture in the Tweet.
