De Kock has taken quite a few blinders in international cricket

The first Test of South Africa's tour of Sri Lanka marked Hashim Amla’s debut as a captain. Chasing 370 in the fourth innings, the match was decently poised and Sri Lanka were going well at 118-1 and talks of a poor declaration had started. Dale Steyn was steaming in and South Africa were in need of a breakthrough.

And suddenly, De Kock manufactured a wicket out of thin air. Steyn produced a genuine edge off Kaushal Silva and De Kock helped the visitors by pulling off a stunner. The ball was going low to his right and it would have certainly fallen short of the first slip. The wicketkeeper realized that as he stretched out his right hand and pouched it nicely in front of first slip.

Sri Lanka, after Silva’s wicket, collapsed as they were bundled out of 216 and lost the first test and eventually went on to lose the series 1-0.
