In the ongoing 51st match of the Big Bash League (BBL) between Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat, Heat's captain Chris Lynn opted to bat first after winning the toss. Melbourne Stars' Glenn Maxwell took an amazing catch in the deep in the 13th over, which shocked the all-rounder himself. 

In the 16th over of the innings, being bowled by Nathan Coulter-Nile, Sam Heazlett slogged a good length delivery bowled at the stumps. The ball was easily clearing the Stars' captain Glenn Maxwell at mid-off. However, he ran back and threw himself backwards, completing a one-handed catch with his left hand. 

Glenn Maxwell was seen with his hand on his face, in disbelief of the spectacular catch he had just completed. This catch not only shocked the fielder but everyone who witnessed it. The video is being shared in numbers by the fans on Twitter.
