Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist took many magnificent catches behind the stumps during his international career. This catch was one of those.

It was the only T20I between Australia and New Zealand at Perth on 11th December 2007 where Adam Gilchrist’s mind-blowing catch helped to dismiss Jamie How.

After Australia set the target of 187 runs, fast-bowler Shaun Tait started his spell in the seventh over, and he picked up his first wicket of this match on his first delivery of this match. While New Zealand was already struggling on 29/2, Tait delivered a fast short ball on which How reacted aggressively, but that took an edge and flew to the back. Aussie wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist first jumped and blocked that ball than he took a brilliant catch to end How’s innings. While New Zealand went down to 29/3, the no.3 batsman How scored just four runs.
