This ball-boy's spectacular catch of Virat Kohli's sixer has Twitter raving about him

Cricketers over the years have displayed amazing feats of athleticism. Many fielders have thrown the ball inside the ground from mid-air over the boundary line like Trent Boult, some fly like a bird to grab the ball like Jonty Rhodes and then there is a backward 360 degree flip catch by Sybrand Englebrecht.

There was one such catch taken during the India-New Zealand match at Wankhede Stadium. However, it wasn’t by a player from either of the teams, but by a ball boy standing beyond the boundary line.

It was in the 25th over of the Indian innings when Kiwi bowler Adam Milne put up a short length delivery, which Virat Kohli sent flying for a six.

That is when the boy displayed amazing agility and took a single-handed catch, garnering applause from the crowd.

Here is a video of the catch:

Twitter too could not stop admiring the boy’s skills, some of them even predicting him to be a future star for the game.
