A wicketkeeper plays a pivotal role in keeping the wickets throughout the innings. He needs to possess a truckload of concentration, focus and sheer will, such that he doesn't make any mistakes during the passage of play. A wicketkeeper is accountable for stumping, taking catches and run-outs.

Jos Buttler takes a stunning catch in Vitality T20 Blast 2023.

Besides that, he also gets a clear view than any other player on the field and if he is a captain, he can make proper field placements too. He also comes in handy especially when it comes to DRS. Case in point, Jos Buttler who plays for Lancashire in the ongoing Vitality Blast 2023 hogged the limelight for his outrageous catch.

The veteran cricketer displayed incredible athleticism by timing his jump to perfection behind the stumps to take a one-handed screamer, which left the onlookers in awe. The spectacular catch was witnessed during the game between Lancashire and Northamptonshire.

The incident happened during the third over of Northamptonshire's innings when Lancashire paceman Luke Wood bowled a fuller delivery, which tempted Ricardo Vasconcelos to play a shot. As it turned out, the left-handed batsman found a thick outside edge in the first place.

Meanwhile, Jos Buttler reacted pretty quickly and had the sensational reflex to take a stunning one-handed catch. Buttler's teammates went up to him and praised him for his stunning effort. The video clip of Buttler's surreal catch spread like wildfire on social media portals. 

Talking about the game, Northamptonshire batted first and posted 138 for the loss of seven wickets in their designated quota of 20 overs. Chris Lynn top-scored for the team with 35 off 25 balls where he struck two fours and two sixes during his stay at the crease.

On the other hand, Luke Wood was the pick of the bowlers for Lancashire as he registered 3/17 in his quota of four overs. In response, Lancashire chased down the target in 16.4 overs and won the game by six wickets. Philip Salt anchored the run-chase with his unbeaten 74* off 51 balls (5 fours and 4 sixes).

At the post-match presentation, Philip Salt said, "We got a message towards the end to finish the game as quickly as possible, and that's what we were looking for. The quality of our line-up, we bat very deep, and the quality is unbelievable. We have a great coaching staff there. It gives you so much confidence with that kind of quality in the team. We are coming to the party just at the right time. I am no expert at net run rates and looking at the point tables."
