This is without a doubt, the greatest catch that has ever been taken by an Indian wicket-keeper and it will stay fresh in the memories of those who were privileged enough to have watched it live. In an otherwise forgettable Test match for India, Saha's 'Superman catch' was the high point.

Towards the end of the first day's play, Umesh Yadav induced a false shot from Steve O'Keefe and while the cut shot was flying between first slip and the wicket-keeper, Saha pulled off the stunning catch.

The ball was pretty high up in the air and Saha not only leapt spectacularly to his right but also took his right hand to the height of the ball to send back O'Keefe.

In addition to that, the fact that he could do something like that towards the end of the day's play speaks volumes about his fitness and powers of concentration.
