Despite the extra-ordinary batting performance by the Bangladesh batsmen, it was the 49-year-old cameraman, Ian Kington who stole the limelight with his stellar catch. With camera lens in one hand and the catch in another, he will surely be a tough competitor to the other fielders in the tournament. It was when South African batsman, Faf Du Plessis had hit Bangladesh's Mosaddek Hossain for a straight six. The cameraman who was capturing the match with his spectacular one handed catch blew the fans off. Earlier this week, in the first match of the tournament, Ben Stokes took a one-handed catch against the Proteas that left the fans in shock. The catch reminded the fans of the legendary Jonty Rhodes. However, days later, Ian Kington took away the limelight with a similar one handed catch. Ian mentioned that he had no time and space to move and he just reached up to catch the ball. Though his catch would be one of the best in the recent times, he revealed that he is not a cricketer himself. Let’s have a look at the Twitter comments that left the fans in shock.




Bangladesh won that match by 21 runs and it was due to the batting of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim who scored 75 and 78 runs, respectively.
