#2 Adam Bacher v India, Cape Town, 1996
It was perhaps fitting that one of the greatest Test match innings in modern cricket history was brought to a close by a catch that will stay in the memories of cricket fans for a long time. Sachin Tendulkar was in imperious form in Cape Town back in January 1997, when he flayed the South African attack to all corners of Newlands to move to 169.

As he was running out of partners, he decided to throw his bat around a bit. That is when Bacher struck. Tendulkar pulled a short ball from Brian McMillan savagely towards the square leg fence but Bacher, who was lurking some yards ahead of the fence, ran back and stretched his right hand in the air in order to reach the ball. It was a catch that had to be seen to be believed.
Tendulkar just stood at the spot in disbelief for a few seconds.
