WATCH | Faf du Plessis continues his legacy with spectacular backward running catch

On the second ball of the 14th over, the Afghan spinner bowled a fuller-length delivery to Parris, angling around off stump, turning slightly away. The Caribbean batter tried to heave it over the off-side but mistimed his shot, resulting in a leading edge. The ball soared high toward the covers, where Faf du Plessis was positioned perfectly as he tracked its trajectory pretty well. Realizing it would land slightly square of the covers, the South African veteran sprinted backwards and nearly stumbled, but he maintained his balance just enough to complete the catch. Meanwhile, Du Plessis grabbed the ball securely and celebrated with a fist pump while still on the ground, and was soon swarmed by his jubilant teammates.

Faf you legend !
