Watch: Romario Shepherd Takes One Of The Best Catches And Leaves His Teammates Stunned With His Flying Effort In SA20

Romario Shepherd, on Monday (January 15), took a breathtaking catch during the game between Durban Super Giants and Joburg Super Kings in the ongoing SA20 2024.

The stunning effort from the West Indies allrounder came in the fourth over of Durban Super Giants’ innings when Matthew Breetzke was facing Nandre Burger. The left-arm pacer bowled a shortish delivery and the ball was shaping away towards the off stump. Breetzke came up with a brilliant shot as he made a solid connection with his short-arm pull.

The ball was timed well by the batsman and was looking set to go the distance but Romario Shepherd had other ideas. He was fielding on the ring at the mid-wicket and just as the ball was flying past him, Romario Shepherd stunned one and all with his effort.

He made a full-length dive and stretched his right hand high above his head to pluck the ball out of the air with one hand before falling to the ground. His shocked teammates’ reaction to the catch said it all as Romario Shepherd completed one of the great catches seen on the cricket field.
