Australia captain Pat Cummins pulled off one of the most extraordinary caught-and-bowled efforts on Day 2 of the 2nd Test against West Indies in Grenada — and fans wasted no time imagining him in a superhero avatar.
The moment came early in West Indies’ first innings, when Keacy Carty inside-edged a Cummins delivery onto his pads. The ball popped up awkwardly towards short leg — and what followed was pure reflex, instinct, and brilliance.
One-in-a-Million Effort by Cummins
Cummins, having just delivered the ball, lunged full-stretch forward with one hand extended, taking a sensational diving catch centimetres from the turf. At 6’4”, Cummins’ low-flying grab was as much about athleticism as it was about anticipation.
Fans, especially from India, took to social media to hail the Aussie captain — and jokingly nominate him for Hrithik Roshan’s role in Krrish 4.
“Hrithik Roshan can consider Pat Cummins for Krrish 4. Man of steel hands!” one fan posted.
“Not just the best pacer, but a superhero too,” another tweeted.
Cummins Adds Another Highlight to His Growing Legacy
Already hailed for his leadership and pace bowling, this moment of fielding brilliance added another layer to the Pat Cummins legend. The dismissal reduced West Indies to 40/2, and despite a gritty 75 from Brandon Campbell, they were bowled out for 253, trailing by 33 runs.
Windies Bite Back Before Stumps
Just when it seemed Australia might run away with the game, Jayden Seales produced a fiery opening spell, removing Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja cheaply. Australia closed Day 2 at 12/2, with the match delicately poised.
What’s Next in the Test?
- Australia lead by 45 runs heading into Day 3
- All eyes will be on Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne to steady the ship
- West Indies will look to build on their momentum and push for a first-innings lead reversal
