Watch: Wriddhiman Saha takes an absolute stunner to dismiss AB de Villiers: The first day of the second Test between India and South Africa witnessed some spectacular fielding by the home side. The catches taken by Pujara, Rahane and Binny were brilliant and showcased India’s high fielding standards, however, the catch that stood out was the one taken by wicketkeeper Saha.

AB de Villiers, playing his 100th Test match, was well set on 85 and playing a classy knock. It seemed that only a moment of brilliance could dismiss the genius and Saha produced that moment with a breathtaking catch. AB danced down the wicket to Jadeja in the last over before tea and tried to defend the ball which bounced a touch more. The ball lobbed up, taking a lot of the pad and a bit of an inside edge, went towards the leg side in front of the wicket. Saha watching it closely raced towards it and produced a full-length dive to take a one-handed stunner. The on-field umpires checked with the third umpire who confirmed that it was a clean catch. The replays confirmed that it was a spectacular take indeed.

The wicket of de Villiers was a huge one and allowed India to continue their dominance over the visitors. The importance of the wicket and the manner in which it was taken surely made it the moment of the day. The reaction of other players who hugged and congratulated Saha confirmed what that wicket of AB meant to the team. Virat Kohli’s delirious reaction was played on the big screen at the stadium and brought about a huge roar from the crowd.
