Absolutely ravishing! Sam Curran caught an outstanding catch. He caught a catch on his own bowling and suddenly shifted the complexion of the match. In match 126 of T20 Blast, the England all-rounder left everyone's jaw dropping. He delivered and took a catch himself, one-handed—the whole process happened so flawlessly that the unusual event seemed well rehearsed.
It was Sussex County Cricket Club vs. Surrey County Cricket Club. In their 20-over limit, Surrey posted 204 runs, batting first. The total was sufficient to throw a tough challenge against any opponent, but Sussex batters were in no mood to surrender. With their opener Daniel Hughes, they started to bat fearlessly, though they tried to remain risk-free as much as possible. But chasing a mammoth total has never been an easy task for any team on the planet.
James Coles was batting vigorously until Sam Curran's 4th delivery of the 19th over of the second innings, while the second batting team poised the game nicely through their hard-hitting game strategy. But chasing a target in the second innings is never an easy go for the team chasing. Coles was in a hurry scoring runs. Whenever he saw a delivery within his territory, he tried to swing the blade. The right-handed batter did the same when Curran delivered one of the luring balls of the match.

The moment of the match shifted
It was a full toss, guided towards the middle stump. Driven by his natural instinct, Coles hit the ball hard. The ball was about to go straight through like an arrow when Curran, the skipper of Surrey, extended his left arm on the path of the ball. The connection between the ball and the bat was not inch-perfect; speed was not top-mark. Curran extended his hand at the right time, and the ball went into his grip smoothly.
Coles departed after scoring 39 off 18. After his dismissal, with a limited number of deliveries before the conclusion of the game, no other Sussex batter came up. Surrey won the match by 7 runs.
