Michael Vaughan lauds "greatest catch ever" as fans astonished by kung fu move

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has hailed a stunning boundary effort as the "greatest catch of all time" after the fielder kung fu kicked the ball back into play.

During the Shree Chashak district tennis ball tournament in Belgaum, Karnataka, Kiran Tarlekar showed off his football skills in a match between SRS Hindustan and Sairaj A. After the ball was smashed towards the boundary, Tarlekar launched himself in the air to take the initial catch.

However, after landing he found himself off balance and had to throw the ball back up in the air to prevent it from going for six. While the ball was in the air, Tarlekar regained his balance and then produced an outrageous piece of skill as he kicked the ball back into play while making sure he was not touching the ground.
