At a time when the likes of MS Dhoni, Quinton de Kock, Jos Buttler continue to hog the limelights because of their wicketkeeping skills, England women team’s star Sarah Taylor never fails to make her presence felt. Time and again, the England wicketkeeper has left the cricketing world spellbound with her wicketkeeping skills.

Well, Sarah Taylor recently pulled off yet another stunning piece of stumping in the first ODI against Australia. In the 18th over of that game, Sarah Taylor left Ellyse Perry with her breathtaking glove work. Natalie Sciver bowled one down the leg side. Perry tried to glance it fine but lost her balance in doing so.

She briefly came out of her crease and it was more than enough for Sarah Taylor to show her unbelievable skills. She collected the ball brilliantly and took off the bails in a flash to send back Perry for just 3.
