The fielding at the boundary line is getting innovative with time as the fielders tend to push the rules laid down by the ICC, especially in T20 cricket. Every now and then, one witnesses cricketers in international cricket pulling off some absolutely outrageous catches.

Something like that was seen in BBL 12 recently which was taken by Michael Neser in the match between the Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers. Neser grabbed the ball before throwing it up in the air as he crossed the boundary rope.

He then jumped in the air outside the field of play and threw it back over the rope before taking the catch.

But now another video of an amazing catch was shared on social media which even left the greats of the game speechless.

The video shows a local tennis ball cricket match in progress. The batter hits a shot towards the boundary, which seems to be flying over the boundary for a six.

However, the fielder timed his jump to perfection and caught the ball with both his hands. The momentum of doing so took him over the boundary. But before setting his foot outside the boundary mark, he threw the ball in the air.

Then showing great football skills, the fielder jumped in the air and bicycle-kicked the ball back into the play, where another fielder completed the catch.

Check out the catch here:

Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar reacted to the catch and said: “This is what happens when you bring a guy who also knows how to play football!!

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan called the catch the greatest catch of all time while New Zealand star Jimmy Neesham called it an outstanding catch.
