#4 Trent Boult vs West Indies

The exciting, quick left-arm seam bowler from New Zealand has a couple of great catches in his young career so far. But this particular catch against the West Indies in a T20 game was a moment of genius from the Kiwi and comes in at four on the list.

Positioned at deep mid wicket, a short ball has been hooked in his direction and headed for a maximum, but Boult adjusts his footing wary of the boundary line, extends his right arm over his head grabbing onto the ball, only for his momentum to take him over the line.

However, Boult is aware of stepping over the line and before doing so, tosses the ball he's caught back over the line and dives to pick it up with his left hand, producing a cricketing moment of true brilliance.
