SA vs NEP | Twitter amazed as Karan KC's spectacular juggling catch sends Klaasen packing for a paltry score
Cricket is a symphony of bat and ball, but a touch of whimsical acrobatics that can lead to great outcomes. Such was the scene in the clash between South Africa and Nepal, where Heinrich Klaasen's fleeting innings was dramatically curtailed by an exquisite juggling catch from Nepal's Karan KC.
On the second ball of the 14th over, Khushal Bhurtel bowled a full-length delivery to Klaasen. The ball was pitched outside off, and Klaasen, looking to play with the spin, lofted it towards the off-side aiming to clear the boundary. However, his timing was off and the ball soared high towards the sweeper cover fielder. Karan KC tracked the ball's trajectory and moved to catch it. The ball initially bounced out of his palm, but Karan managed to juggle it three times before securing the catch, thus ending Klaasen's short-lived innings.
The Twitterverse erupted in excitement, with users flocking to social media to praise Karan KC's extraordinary control and composure in completing the catch.
What a catch!

Bhurtel tries to compensate with the wicket of Markram. In comes Monster Klaasen, get him asap.#NEPvSAĀ https://t.co/RUPpLus7Ac

Drop but taken later!
Almost another drop by Nepali fielder, but Karan KC manages to hold on catch by juggling. Bhurtel gets rid of Klaasen. Heart in the mouth stuff from Nepali fielders.#NEPvSAĀ pic.twitter.com/wWrfM6pjE7
