David Miller's acrobatic catch

David Miller took an acrobatic catch to get rid of Shikhar Dhawan which also broke  61-run second-wicket stand between him and Virat Kohli. It happened in 12th over of India's run chase which was bowled by Tabraiz Shamsi. On fourth delivery, Shamsi bowled a simple one on line of middle stump and Dhawan charged down track to deposit him into stands and in fact, he had connected ball well and it appeared that Gabbar would get ar boundary or a maximum. Unfortunately, for left-hander, his stay in middle was cut short after David Miller took a catch out of where. Miller covered a lot of ground, put in a spectacular dive and held on to ball with just one hand as he completed what a few experts believe as ' Catch of Century'. Miller's acrobatic catch left Indian skipper Virat Kohli in utter disbelief and even Dhawan could t believe what had just happened. video of David Miller's electrifying catch was posted on social media.
