6 best one-handed catches in ODI cricket 

#2 Yuvraj Singh (Colombo, 2002)

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh made the backward point region his very own after his debut and was widely considered to be the successor of Jonty Rhodes. During his career, he took some magical catches in that region and turned matches on their head.

One such good example was the semi-final against South Africa in the ICC Champions Trophy, 2002 where he took two magical catches and turned the game in favour of India. The first of those was a typical Yuvraj Singh special, leaping away dismiss Graeme Smith off Zaheer Khan’s bowling.

The second one was more special perhaps because of the timing of it. South Africa were 194 for 1 off the 39th over, needing 68 runs off 71 balls to win when Jonty Rhodes mistimed a sweep off Harbhajan Singh to get a top edge.

Yuvraj, who was fielding at short fine-leg, dashed across like a panther and dived to take a splendid one-handed catch to send back Rhodes. That triggered a collapse as South Africa lost 6 wickets and fell short of the Indian total by 10 runs in the end.
