Ben Stokes' long awaited comeback finally came true for England in the big game against South Africa at the Wankhede and there were hopes that the big man will deliver for his side after their shock loss against Afghanistan. However, South Africa are proving too hot to handle for England as they have been reduced to 68-6 in the 12th over after the Proteas posted massive 399 on the board. The fourth wicket to go was of none other than Ben Stokes who was outfoxed by a clever delivery from Kagiso Rabada and was caught and bowled, putting England in deep hole.

It was the 9th over of England's innings and all eyes were on Ben Stokes to take England out of the rut. However, Kagiso Rabada, South Africa's premier bowler showed his class when his team needed it the most and bowled a fullish delivery on off. Stokes tried to clip it towards the leg side but the ball came slower off the pitch than he anticipated and ended up hitting it early, chipping it back to Kagiso Rabada. The tall pacer showed great reflexes and took a fine low catch showing his flexibility and class as an international cricketer.
