In the semifinal of the Road Safety World Series, Suresh Raina sent the fans down on a wave of nostalgia when he took a screamer of a catch diving full stretch. The former India international pulled off this amazing feat in the crucial game against Australia Legends.
This happened in the 16th over in the 1st innings when Australia Legends were batting. Abhimanyu Mithun was the bowler who bowled a low full toss at the left-handed Be Dunk and the batter hit it towards Suresh Raina where he had to dive full stretch to his left to take the catch.
Here is the video
What a dive. What a catch 😱✨@ImRaina you beauty ♥️
