It is often said that humans have only managed to discover very little of what their body can do. Australian cricketer Campbell Kellaway might have taken it too seriously as he pulled off a stunning catch during the recent Sheffield Shield assignment between Western Australia and Victoria.

Aiming to chase a 381-run target in the fourth innings of the recently concluded Sheffield Shield encounter, Western Australia lost Sam Whiteman for a duck before the middle order laid the foundation for a strong total. However, a collapse unfolded at the lower-middle order and the tail was exposed under pressure of chasing a tricky target on the final day. This is when a Campbell Kellaway brilliance on the field further doused the hosts' victory with a stunning gravity-defying catch.

On the third ball of his 18th over in the innings, Will Sutherland came over the wicket and dished a short ball outside the stumps that Cameron Gannon intended to get behind the line and pull. However, the right-handed batter did not come into a good position but got the ball flying towards the fine leg region. Kellaway, fielder there hurled sideways before leaping towards the flying cork with his body outstretched. He ended up snapping the ball out of thin air before making thudding onto the ground. Seeing the spectacular piece of fielding from the Aussie, greats like Sachin Tendulkar shook the Twitterverse with praise.
