Bradley Currie: The 2023 edition of the Vitality T20 Blast is underway in England. The competition between bat and ball has been exceptional and various young stars have set the stage on fire with their performances. Not only with the bat and ball there have been quite a few impressive fielding performances.
One of the best fielding performances came in the match between Sussex and Hampshire from Bradley Currie. The Sussex player produced one of the best catching efforts of all time and provided his team with the crucial breakthrough at the vital juncture of the game.
In the chase of 183 runs, Hampshire was cruising at one stage and they needed 23 off 11 balls. It was at that moment when Bradley Currie made a stupendous effort to tilt the game in his side’s favour. Benny Howell, who was going great guns, played a hard shot toward the leg side and it seemed that ball would easily go for six.
