Shadab Khan, the vice-captain of Pakistan’s T20 team, is not a part of the Test team and is currently playing in Australia’s Big Bash League. The England team is on a tour of Pakistan for the three-match Test series, and during this time, Shadab is playing in the Big Bash League for the Hobart Hurricanes.
In today’s match between Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes, Shadab took such a catch that everyone was stunned to see. If you see this catch of Shadab once, you will have to watch it repeatedly to understand it.
You would have rarely seen such caught and bold in the history of cricket. Perth Scorchers needed 18 runs from the last two overs to win. Jhye Richardson and Aaron Hardy were at the crease. Shadab came to bowl the last over of his quota.

Shadab Khan put pressure on the Perth Scorchers by giving just one run in the first two balls. Hardy hit the shot on the third ball; the ball was far away from Shadab. Shadab dives full length and takes a wonderful catch in the air.
Shadab spent just four runs in this over and took the wicket of Hardy. In this way, Perth Scorchers needed 14 runs in the last over, but the team could only manage five runs, and Hobart Hurricanes won the match by eight runs.
