Ben Duckett showcased his incredible athleticism in a Big Bash League (BBL) match between Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers. The English opener took a jaw-dropping catch to dismiss D’Arcy Short.

Known for his fitness, Duckett amazed everyone with a catch that will be remembered for years. D’Arcy Short, who was batting at 60, looked set to take the game away from the Stars. Facing Peter Siddle, Short smashed a fuller ball outside off-stump with full force.

The ball was speeding through the air, but Duckett reacted instantly. Leaping into the air, he stretched out his right hand and caught the ball mid-flight. It was a moment of magic that silenced the Strikers’ hopes and sent shockwaves through the crowd. Many are already calling it the “Catch of the Decade.”

The ball hit his pad, and the umpire gave him out lbw. Unfortunately, he was dismissed for a golden duck.
