WATCH: Axar Patel Takes Brilliant One-Handed Catch To Dismiss Ishan Kishan During MI Vs DC Match
MUMBAI: In the ongoing clash between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Delhi Capitals’ versatile all-rounder, Axar Patel, showcased his brilliance with a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Ishan Kishan.
Opting to field after winning the toss, Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals aimed to curb the home team’s dominance.
However, the Mumbai Indians got off to a flying start with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan forming an impressive 80-run partnership for the opening wicket. Their momentum was interrupted when Axar Patel, the former skipper, claimed Rohit Sharma’s wicket in the 7th over.
Mumbai Indians faced another setback as Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed without scoring. Nevertheless, Axar Patel delivered a pivotal blow in the very next over by removing the in-form Ishan Kishan.
In the 11th over’s second delivery, Patel pitched one perfectly, tempting Kishan to go for a big shot over mid-wicket. However, with remarkable agility, the Delhi all-rounder lunged to his left, executing a breathtaking catch. Kishan, who was closing in on a half-century, had to depart after scoring a brisk 42 off 23 balls.
