A blinding catch by Victoria’s Campbell Kellaway within the WACA outfield in Australia, captured in grainy vision by streaming cameras, was greater than probably the most eye-popping moments of the 2024-25 Sheffield Shield season.
It also caught the eyes of 1 legendary Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar, who heaped praise on the Aussie, calling him ‘Superman’ and ‘Spiderman’ for his unprecedented catch.
Initially misjudging a Cameron Gannon hook shot at long-on, the 22-year-old Kellaway made a desperate dive to assert the possibility in his outstretched right hand and in doing so, sealed Victoria’s 34-run win over Western Australia within the Sheffield Shield on the WACA on Tuesday.
The viral catch caught the eyes of Tendulkar as well, who took to X to specific his utter shock and awe on the jaw-dropping catch, equating Kellaway to superheroes.
“Was it an audition for @SpiderMan or @Superman? This is really a mind-boggling catch. Simply awesome,” wrote Tendulkar on his X post.
Kellaway’s catch was the cherry on top for the Aussie in a game by which he had carved out an excellent and unbeaten 165 as well, all of which earned him a well-deserved Player of the Match award.
“I actually don’t think I actually have [seen a better catch] to be honest,” Victoria’s captain Will Sutherland said.
“With the filming, it still got here up pretty much. It’s not the Big Bash cameras, but for him to take that catch into the sun as well, it’s a fairly incredible catch. Almost higher than his 150.”
