There’s the orthodox way of doing things, and then there’s a way so seamless it makes the effort invisible. Donavon Ferreira did a similar act during the reverse clash of Joburg Super Kings against Sunrisers Eastern Cape after pulling off an incredible one-handed catch nonchalantly.

After choosing to bat first, a high-flying Eastern Cape side felt the heat from Lutho Sipamla’s new ball spell. It was followed by Hardus Viljoen’s lethal outing with the ball, as the two pacers broke the backbone of the Eastern Cape, reducing them to 17/4 by the fourth over. Despite David Bedingham and Tristan Stubb’s fightback, the Joburg team ripped through them, exposing the tale in the dying hours of the first innings. This is when Ferreira showcased incredible fielding, leaving the commentators and spectators in awe.

Aiming to propel the runs on the scoreboard, Beyers Swanepoel tried to move leg-side and carve a back of a length delivery outside the woods from Viljoen on the third ball of the 19th over. In the process, he almost got it for six if not for an outstanding one-handed take. Ferreira, sprinting along the sweeper cover region leaped at it and snatched the ball by reaching out with his right arm. To see an effort as nonchalant as this one, the commentators, players, and the Twitterverse was stunned..
