Reacting to the video, a user wrote that the throw was insane. Another said that this was a brilliant catch. A user even expressed the desire to get a Guinness World Record award for just looking at the video. “I could probably catch that,” reacted another.
Mocking at the record a user commented, “Lol what record is this? Is it because he’s American? You didn’t even show the full video.” A few also questioned why was this even a record with many of the users saying that even they could do it.
Earlier, a person named Thimothy Shanon Jebaseelan had created a record of the highest catch of a cricket ball after he catched a ball from a height of 119.86 m (393 ft 3 in). Thimothy was born in Sri Lanka and had shifted to Australia in 2018.
It is to be noted that he had attempted to create a record in 2019 but he then broke his finger, resulting in a trip to the hospital which lead to the record being abandoned. He then reattempted in 2021 and succeeded in his attempt to create a world record.
