A fan won Rs 90 lakh by taking the catch of Kane Williamson, the catch was more discussed than the shot

During a cricket match, when a ball goes into the stands for a six, the fans present there become very excited to catch it. But sometimes this passion of fans brings them into the headlines overnight. One such moment was seen during a match of SA20 League, when a fan took a brilliant catch of Kane Williamson’s six and won a prize of Rs 90 lakh.

The catch that made the fan a millionaire

A special offer has been made for the fans outside the field in the SA20 League. If a fan makes the catch with one hand, he gets a share of 2 million South African Rand (about Rs 90 lakh). This amazing sight was seen in the DSG vs PC match of the same league.

During the 17th over, when Kane Williamson played a brilliant shot on his knees off Ethan Bosh and sent the ball past deep mid-wicket, a fan sitting in the stands caught it with one hand. This brilliant catch attracted the attention of the entire stadium.

Fan’s catch became more popular than Williamson’s shot

Instead of Williamson’s shot, the fan’s catch grabbed all the headlines. The catch was so excellent that commentator Mark Nicholls quipped,
“Has he played cricket before? If you played, triple the prize money!”

This prize will be distributed among all the fans who catch one-handed catches throughout the season. But the talent and luck of this fan has already made him the center of discussion.

In this high-scoring encounter, Durban Super Giants (DSG) batted first and scored a mammoth score of 209 runs. Pretoria Capitals (PC) batsmen Rahmanullah Gurbaz (89 runs) and Will Jacques (64 runs) gave a great start, and a 154-run partnership between the two made the match exciting.

However, DSG bowlers Noor Ahmed and Chris Woakes bowled brilliantly in the last overs to help their team win by 2 runs.

Role of fans in SA20 league

The SA20 League has launched this unique initiative to make fans an integral part of the matches. The spectators sitting in the stadium are given a reward for catching a catch with one hand, which has further increased the excitement of the game.
