[7] Leverock's most memorable moment came during the group stage match against India, where he took a one-handed stunning, diving catch which became one of the talking points during the tournament and was praised globally.
[15] Leverock made his debut representing the Bermudian cricket team in Bermuda's first ever One Day International when they played Canada on 17 May 2006 and the match was part of a triangular series which also involved Zimbabwe.
As a batsman, Leverock made his first half-century against the Netherlands in the 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup, including 8 fours, and shared in a 132-run partnership with Glamorgan captain David Hemp.
[23] Leverock noticed that Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff were both mocking and chuckling at some of the deliveries bowled by him which eventually propelled him to raise his bar.
[28] Mahela Jayawardene made the most out of two costly dropped catches due to sloppy fielding from Dwayne Leverock by top scoring with a fluent knock of 85 which also marked his 35th career ODI half-century.
Leverock took a stunning, diving one-handed slip catch to dismiss Robin Uthappa off Malachi Jones' first ball in a Cricket World Cup match (the 2nd over of the game) against India, which triggered off wild celebrations.
[31][32] Malachi Jones delivered an outside off good length outswinger delivery which Robin Uthappa tried to dispatch that on the off side but ended up getting an educated edge which was cleanly taken by Dwayne Leverock who was in the slip cordon diving to his right to complete a fabulous catch.
[38] He went onto become an overnight sensation with his one-handed catching effort especially among flurry of Indians as he achieved it against India which is regarded as a cricket crazy nation.
[39][40] The moment became a part of cricketing folklore and, for many Indian fans, it turned out to be the only piece of amusement from a dismal World Cup campaign, marred by string of defeats to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
[41] Leverock went onto blow many kisses towards the passionate crowd which witnessed a magnificent fielding effort of him and he took off on a celebratory sprint running around the ground performing a lap of honour.
[44][45] He had a decent yet successful first-class cricket career having played 15 matches but ended up taking 71 scalps at a healthy average of 26.74 including six five-wicket hauls.
With the shock of the death of Bob Woolmer, British tabloid fury at Andrew Flintoff's drunken shenanigans and sub-continental unhappiness at underperforming superstars, Leverock became the feel-good hit of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
"[47] In 2023, an American tourist who went by the name Ahsan Aadil Shaikh visited Bermuda on a vacation and went on a taxi to reach a port.
Ahsan Aadil Shaikh was quick to respond to that question by saying how he vividly remembers about Bermuda's participation at 2007 Cricket World Cup and told about how he felt nostalgic about having watched the magnificent catch of Dwayne Leverock.
[50] Leverock announced his retirement from international cricket in April 2009 after Bermuda finished in a disappointing ninth place in the 2009 ICC World Cup Qualifier which resulted in the team losing its One Day International status and failing to qualify for the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
[54] He once stated that bowling to Kevin Pietersen was more difficult task than carrying prisoners, thugs and criminals off his van because of KP's unorthodox style of batting.
