Cricket has a new superhero

He flies through the air. He vanquishes his opponents. Glenn Phillips is proving, once again, that fielding done right is an art form
Virat Kohli looked like he'd seen a ghost. Eyebrows knitted, his mouth a grim line, he stared for a moment towards point, before shaking his head very slightly, and walking back to the pavilion.
New Zealand's Glenn Phillips had just taken a catch that stunned Kohli and, to be fair, everyone else watching.
He dove to his right at full stretch, flying, flying, flying, through the air like a predatory bird, snatching the ball up mid-flight.
The Kohli ball wasn't the only "superman" catch Phillips pulled off at the recently concluded Champions Trophy. He used another one to dismiss Pakistan and Mohammad Rizwan; then another in the final against India, leaping and reaching high above him, to take out Shubman Gill. (India did eventually win, of course.)
There is little doubt that Glenn Phillips is the best fielder in the world.
