Kolkata's Kamlesh Nagarkoti has been a revelation during their Indian T20 League match against Rajasthan. The 20-year-old had already impressed on the night, picking up the wickets of Robin Uthappa and Riyan Parag but then he took a catch from the lately-dangerous Jofra Archer that left everyone astonished.
After Archer sliced it up between long-off and long-on, Nagarati approached from long-on and leapt up to snare the ball and hold on. It was the second incredible feat of acrobatic dexterity that we've seen in this tournament, after Nicholas Pooran's gravity-defying save a few days ago.
We round up some of the best reactions:

Not a bad day for young Nagarkoti! 2 wickets, a crisp boundary at the end and a seriously good catch. Hopefully he will continue to repay the extraordinary faith that have had in him

"He's got an athletic body and is a good player of basketball and tennis. His ball judgment is staggering as he doesn’t try to dive often but attempts to reach the ball by his running skill."- coach told me a few days back! How true!
