Aries Kollam Sailors captain Sachin Baby impressed everyone earlier today in the Kerala Cricket League with a remarkable boundary save, preventing five runs in the match against Calicut Globstars. Thiruvananthapuram witnessed an exhilarating match today as Sailors emerged victoriously against Globstars by three wickets in the 23rd fixture of inaugural Kerala Cricket League.
Sailors’ captain Sachin Baby played a key role by scoring 30 vital runs to lead his side to a win but also made a crucial contribution before that when he was playing long-off during the last over of the penultimate innings. Its being pointed out that on the fifth delivery of the over with left-arm medium pacer Pavan Raj bowling and Globstars batter Nikhil M trying to hit a six.
In such circumstances, it appeared like the ball would go over easily through the ropes but Sachin’s movements were nothing less than superman in saving those 5 runs near touchline. At 35 years old too, commentators found themselves wondering how much longer would such athleticism be possible from Aries’ skipper.

The official Instagram account for KCL T20 posted the video of the save, which has garnered over 8,000 likes and 100 comments. Fans are applauding the veteran batter for his remarkable effort.
