All-rounders play a very important role in cricket. They have the ability to change the match in some way or the other. However, whenever all-rounders are discussed, generally only those players are discussed who bat and bowl. But not only such players are all-rounders, but those who have the ability to change the game sometimes from behind the wicket and sometimes from in front are also all-rounders.

Here we are talking about wicketkeepers and one such wicketkeeper is England captain Jos Buttler, who changed the course of the innings by showing his brilliance in his keeping before batting against South Africa in the T20 World Cup.

In the Super-8 match, South Africa and England were face to face in Group-2 on Friday, 21 June. Both the teams had won their first matches. In this match, South Africa came out to bat first. For them, opener Quinton de Kock started the innings with explosive batting.

During this, Mark Wood took an easy catch of de Kock at deep fine leg, but due to carelessness, it touched the ground and hence he was proved not out.

Amazing one handed catch

De Kock had scored a quick half-century by this time and it seemed that he would take advantage of this lifeline and punish England. This could not happen because England captain Butler himself took the responsibility of sending him back to the pavilion. In the 12th over, De Kock failed to cut Jofra Archer's slow ball and the catch bounced towards the slip behind the wicket. The ball was towards Butler's left hand but was quite far.

Still, the England captain made a great dive and caught the ball in the air with his left hand.

Hunted with a direct throw

With the fall of De Kock's wicket, England got a big relief, which soon turned into double happiness. Once again the reason for this was wicketkeeper Butler. This time Mark Wood's bouncer was well outside the leg stump, which Heinrich Klaasen let go to the keeper. Butler could not stop it properly and the ball hit his pad and went to the left. In such a situation, when David Miller ran for the run, Klaasen also had to run.

England made a comeback

Butler picked up the ball quickly and hit it straight at the non-striker's stumps. Butler's aim was perfect and Klaasen was run out. It was because of Butler's strong fielding that South Africa, who had scored 92 runs in 11.4 overs and lost only 1 wicket, lost 2 more wickets in the next 11 runs. On the basis of this, England made a strong comeback and stopped South Africa, who at one point seemed to be heading towards a score of 190, at 163 runs only.
