Dwayne Leverock, Bermuda v India (2007)

It was the ICC Cricket World Cup of 2007, hosted in the Caribbean, and Bermuda were taking on India in Port of Spain. The Caribbean team were fresh off a 243-run loss to Sri Lanka, and one might not have expected momentum or motivation from the lesser-known team.

Bermudian bowler and fielder Dwayne Leverock was then 36-years-old - not young by cricketing standards, and was a policeman in his day job. Leverock was also very overweight, by his own admission, at 280lbs, or roughly 128 kilograms - making him the heaviest player at the World Cup that year, and the second heaviest cricketer of all time.

Leverock was taunted even in the nickname his teammates had for him: Sluggo. The press, other players, all called him unkind names, but this did not deter the talented bowler, whose idol was Pakistani leg-spinner Abdul Qadir.

At the crease was then-22-year-old Robin Uthappa, who was facing 17-year-old Bermudian bowler Malachi Jones, with Leverock fielding at slips.

Jones sent in a short delivery, and Uthappa edged it. Leverock was lightning-fast and leapt out at full stretch, arm outstretched to take the catch - and he did, with aplomb.

Although Bermuda eventually lost that match by 257 runs in what would be the biggest margin of defeat in ODI history, Leverock's catch went down in history.
