Even after retiring from international cricket, many cricketers are showing their talent on the field these days. Playing in different T20 leagues, these players always show something amazing, no matter what their age. Legends League Cricket being played in India these days has also seen many such great performances. Now a 42-year-old player did something similar in the finals, which gave the team a lot of success. This player is the former Australian cricketer Ben Loughlin, who showed very skillful fielding in the final and took 4 catches. One of the catches was that it is hard to believe that he is 42 years old and plays cricket only occasionally.
Brilliant fielding from Laughlin
The final match of this tournament was played on October 16, Wednesday night at the Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar. In this match, Dakshini Superstars and Konark Surya Odisha clashed. Southern Super Stars came to bat first. Who scored 164 runs in 20 overs losing 6 wickets. The score for the Southern Super Stars could have been much bigger had it not been for Ben Laughlin’s brilliant fielding. Laughlin took 4 catches of the Southern batsman in this innings and all these catches were very high and very close to the boundary but Ben made no mistakes.
One of which was caught by former New Zealand opener Martin Guptill. Guptill, who was busy hitting quick boundaries, was trying this. He wrapped Konark skipper Irfan Pathan’s ball in the same style. The ball looked to be heading straight for the deep midwicket boundary but the deployed Laughlin ran to his left and dived to his left, raising his hands in the air to catch the speeding ball. In this attempt he fell close to the boundary but did not let the ball fall. This gave Konark another success and ended a great partnership.

Pawan Negi, the second highest run scorer for the team, was also caught by the same player. Talking about bowling, former Sri Lankan off-spinner Dilshan Munaweera took 4 wickets for Konark for just 9 runs in 3 overs.
