No adjectives can describe such sensational catch and not to forget, that it could be the match changing catch as it was of Kohli.

Ben Stokes took an excellent catch of Virat Kohli at slip AFP

In the ongoing second Test between India and England at Visakhapatnam, Ben Stokes grabbed an excellent catch while fielding at slip on Day 4. Indian captain Virat Kohli, who was batting at 81 and looked set for another ton in his 50th Test, got dismissed in the bowling England ‘s leg-spinner Adil Rashid. Before Kohli, India had already lost two wickets early in the fourth day of the match in the form of Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin. India were surely in trouble as they were eyeing a lead of at least 400 or above and after the fall of those wickets, it looked difficult.

With India being six wickets down, skipper Kohli was expected to anchor the innings once again but off the first delivery 48th over by Rashid, which was a flighted legbreak and Kohli went for a drive but gets an edge. The edge flies wide and Stokes at slip, jumps in the air towards his right and plucks the leather in air single-handedly. No adjectives can describe such sensational catch and not to forget, that it could be the match changing catch as it was of Kohli. This can be said as catch of the year in Tests. With this magnificent catch from Stokes, it has created stir among the fans and other cricketers as well on social media. Here we present some interesting tweets.

Ben stokes catch is somewhat similar to the hunting style of frog,spontaneous.

That probably was Stokes’ best catch in the slips since Trent Bridge 2015. #INDvENG

What a catch from Ben Stokes! It was a superman like effort to dismiss one of the best batsmen in the world at the moment. #IndvEng

Beside that catch, Stokes bowled only five overs in the second innings by conceding 25 runs without any wicket. He is yet to bowl on Day 4. Currently, despite India being seven wickets down, they are still at strong position because no visiting side has ever chased more than 276 in India.
