Forgotten RCB Player From IPL 2021 Takes Stunning Catch in Big Bash League 2024–25 Challenger [WATCH]

A former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) player gave a testament to his incredible fielding prowess by taking a sensational catch in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL). During the match between Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder, George Garton, who was with RCB during the IPL 2021 season, took a blinder of a catch to dismiss Moises Henriques.

During the 13th over of the match, left-arm spinner Tom Andrews bowled a length ball outside the off stump. Sixers skipper Moises Henriques attempted to drive it through the covers and made clean contact.

However, the ball went airborne and George Garton, positioned at cover, executed a spectacular diving catch to his left. Garton’s lightning-fast reflexes were on full display as he pulled off one of the season’s most remarkable catches.

After securing the catch, Garton tossed the ball in celebration, receiving well-deserved praise from his teammates for preventing what seemed destined to be a boundary.

Moises Henriques was dismissed for 29 runs off 30 balls, a crucial moment as he was poised to guide his team to a strong position.
