In the Vitality Blast match between Sussex and Hampshire, one incident became the talking point of the town. Sussex was defending 183 runs when their pacer Bradley Currie pulled off a mind-boggling one-handed stunner to dismiss Benny Howell on Friday (June 16) at the County Ground in Hove.
This catch by Currie is deemed one of the best catches in the history of cricket. The incident took place in the 19th over when a fullish delivery from Tymal Mills was smacked hard by Howell and it would have crossed the boundary rope for a six. But Currie came running from the left and with a high dive he plucked the ball with his one hand to the absolute bewilderment of Howell.
The video of the incident took no time to go viral on social media platforms. Fans are left in awe after the Scottish pacer’s incredible athleticism and effort, and they started calling the catch one of the best in the history of the game.
