WATCH: Mohammad Rizwan takes an absolute blinder against Durham in County Championship
Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan, playing for Sussex in the ongoing County Championship Division 2, took a stunning catch against Durham on Monday.
It all happened in the 103rd over of Durham’s second innings. On the bowling of Sussex’s left-arm spinner Delray Rawlins, Durham batter David Bedingham opted for a defensive shot, but the ball took an outside edge of his bat and hit the wicketkeeper’s pads before flying towards the first slip. Rizwan, fielding at that position, quickly dived towards his right and plucked the ball out of thin air.
