March 19, 2007: Standing 280 pounds in the first slip, Bermuda's Dwayne Leverock completed a remarkable one-handed catch to send Indian opener Robin Uthappa back to the pavilion.
Catches win matches, they say. But when Bermuda's Dwayne Leverock took one, he won hearts of cricket fans all across.
Bermuda had nothing to lose when they came out to play the 2007 World Cup held in West Indies. With their group matches lined against Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh, the underdogs weren't expected to attract many eyeballs until one man changed it for them forever.
On March 19, 2007, Dwayne Leverock pulled off a stunner to reserve a special place in the history books. Standing at about 280 pounds, the big man was guarding the slips during Malachi Jones' first over of the match when Indian opener Robin Uthappa edged one.
Not willing to let it go, Leverock dived full-length to his right and pouched a remarkable one-handed catch to send the Indian batsman packing.
But that was just the beginning.
Leverock completed the athletic catch with illustrious celebrations and a victory lap in Queen's Park Oval, Trinidad. There was no catching him.
