All-rounder Shivam Mavi, facing pacer Pritam Chakraborty, was surprised by a short ball on the fifth ball of the over and hurriedly attempted a pull over his shoulders. However, he could only manage a top edge as the ball flew above his shoulder blade and seemed to be heading down the leg side for four. However, Porel had different ideas. The wicket-keeper took a slight step to his left before putting in a full-length dive in a desperate attempt to grab the ball. The red cherry, having almost travelled past him, somehow stuck in his glove, earning Bengal a crucial wicket of the prolific all-rounder.
The incident provided a cricketing photo for the ages, featuring Porel stretched to the utmost while suspended mid air and the ball in his outstretched palm, reminding Twitterati of the famous Jhonty Rhodes still where he grabbed a similar catch albeit in the outfield.
