In match 7 of the Bengal Pro T20 League 2024, Abhishek Das pulled off a stunning catch, while playing for Adamas Howrah Warriors against Rashmi Medinipur Wizards, emulating the Trent Boult fielding masterclass in the IPL from a few years ago. His exploits in the field were vital for the Warriors to get the better of the Wizards by five wickets at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
It was the 19th over of the Rashmi Medinipur Wizards innings when Kanishk Seth of the Adamas Howrah Warriors delivered a fuller-length ball, which Deepak Mahato danced down the track to loft towards the long-on region. When the ball was coming towards Abhishek Das, he found himself a few metres off the ropes before managing to leap in the nick of time to pull off a stunning one-handed catch mid-air.
