7 instances when cricketers showcased brilliant presence of mind

#6 Tom Latham

Tom Latham grabbed a wonderful catch of Faf du Plessis while fielding at short leg.

The New Zealand team has always been known for having some brilliant batsmen and some top class fielders in their side. Brendon McCullum could be regarded as the best example of this statement. Baz possessed a rare combination of aggression as well as sharpness on the field. However, his teammate Tom Latham too showcased his sharpness while fielding at short leg against South Africa.

The 26-year-old New Zealander once stunned the whole crowd with his brilliant on-field presence of mind. Tom pulled off this miracle while fielding at short leg position during a test match between New Zealand and South Africa.

South African captain Faf du Plessis was at the batting crease facing the ball of the spinner, Mitchell Santner. Faf anticipated the ball early and tried to chip the ball on the leg side with smartness. But Tom proved himself smarter than du Plessis as he moved towards the leg side as soon as he saw Faf taking the stance. And then Tom grabbed one of the smartest catches in cricket history.
