The image of Dwayne Bravo (West Indies) taking an acrobatic full-length diving catch during ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 won the award for 2014 MCC – Wisden Photo of the Year. In the photo, the Caribbean star catches James Faulkner of Australia off the bowling of Krishmar Santokie at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.

Bravo’s mid-air movement was captured by a photographer named Matthew Lewis.

The official Twitter handle of Lord’s ground tweeted:

For the first time in the history of the competition has it happened that the photo for both the winner and the runner-up has been clicked by the same photographer.

Chris Smith (former Chief Sports Photographer of The Sunday Times) chaired the judging panel along with world-famous cricket photographer Patrick Eager and award-winning sports photographer Bob Thomas. More than 400 entries of amateur and professional photographers from around the world were judged in the competition.

Last year, the image of Sachin Tendulkar coming out to bat for the last time in the second Test match against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in November 2013 was the winner. It was photographed by Mid-Day media photographer Atul Kamble.

The contest was open to everyone this year and was sponsored by JPMorgan.
