During the sixth over of Central District's run pursuit, the catch occurred. Michael Snedden of Wellington delivered a fuller-length ball, which the right-handed batter, Will Young, sent towards long-on. Kelly caught the ball at the boundary and tossed it back while sliding over the ropes.

Fortunately, Troy Johnson chased him and finished the amazing catch, leaving everyone speechless. While boundary catches are becoming more regular, the fielder in this instance had lost complete control of his body. He only had a fraction of a second to return the ball.
