Wicket-keeper-batsman, Quinton de Kock, got quite the scare when he called for the catch of Glenn Maxwell in the fifth match of the tri-series against Australia.

It was in the 31st over when the Australian batsman, trying to pull a short delivery off Dale Steyn, got a top edge. Steyn wanted to go for the catch, so did de Kock, and the latter eventually clung on to the ball.

When de Kock raised his arms to celebrate with the bowler, he got an angry rap on his palms from Steyn, who looked livid for not being allowed to take the catch. de Kock was taken aback, scared of Steyn's response.

However, the bowler only did it in jest, hugging the youngster later, much to his relief.

Here's the video of the incident:
