WATCH | Acrobatic Nicholas Pooran snares one-handed screamer to send Travis Head packing
In modern cricket, the importance of fitness has become more crucial than ever. Nicholas Pooran exemplified it yet again by grabbing a scintillating catch behind the stumps to dismiss the dangerous Travis Head as MI New York squared off against Washington Freedom at Church Street Park, Morrisville.
After a three-run first over, Ehsan Adil bowled a good length delivery outside the off stump to Head. The southpaw intended to execute a drive on that but played inside the line and got the outside edge toward the left of the gloveman. Pooran was excellent with his reflex as he leaped to his left and grasped the white cherry with his left-hand to complete a stunner. Time and again, Head has played some unreal knocks across formats in the past couple of years, and the early blow acted as a sigh of relief for New York.
