[WATCH VIDEO] Alastair Cook Takes A Stunning Reflex Catch And The Video Is Going Viral, Is It Real Of Fake?

Former England captain Alastair Cook still continues to make headlines, both on the field and off it. Cook has been playing quite a bit of domestic cricket in his time off national duty.

During the Specsavers County Championship match between Essex and Middlesex, Cook and his opening partner Nick Browne created history as they broke the record for the highest opening wicket stand for the club by putting on 373 for the first wicket.

Cook, who resumed playing for Essex Cricket Country Club did something you will not believe. He is known as one of the best fielders at the slip. Cook once again proved why he is a great fielder possessing alien reflexes.

Shortly after the day’s play, Cook was seen talking to a reporter about county cricket with a batsman practicing in the background. While Cook was speaking, the ball was hit at a massive pace towards the interviewer which would have smashed him if Cook was not there to save him.

A few seconds into the video, it looks like the batsman mishit the ball directly towards the reporter’s head. However, Cook got his hand out in time and luckily caught the ball without looking at it and saved the reporter from being hit.

Cook is the highest run scorer for his country in the longest format with over 11,000 runs. He was the captain of the Test team, till recently when he gave up the post and Joe Root was named as his successor. But he still continues to remain an integral part of the team – and will be a key player if the team is to retain the urn.
