WATCH: Lachlan Shaw's 'all-time great' fielding effort saves six runs for Sydney Sixers in BBL 2024-25

Lachlan Shaw displayed a ‘one in a million’ fielding effort to leave the fans awestruck and amused in the recently concluded BBL 2024-25 game between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers. Shaw was fielding for the Sixers in the deep square leg region near the boundary ropes during the first innings when the Strikers were batting.

The hosts’ batter Alex Ross happened to play a strong and comfortable slog sweep towards the deep square leg portion of the field. The shot was quite fine and headed easily towards the six but something else was yet to be written by Lachlan Shaw’s ‘all-time great’ saving effort at the boundary line. 
Shaw made an unbelievable jump in the air and landed outside the boundary line to execute this outstanding save in favour of the Sydney Sixers.

The video of this mind-blowing fielding effort from the young Aussie star is also making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared from BBL’s official X handle (formerly Twitter).
