The Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL 2023) is currently underway with great enthusiasm, witnessing the stellar performances of several established stars and the hunger displayed by young talents eager to make their mark. The 8th game of the TNPL showcased one such exceptional moment, as the experienced Murugan Ashwin pulled off a breathtaking catch seemingly out of thin air.

The match featured a face-off between Siechem Madurai Panthers and Dindigul Dragons in the franchise league. After winning the toss, Dindigul Dragons elected to field first, putting Siechem Madurai Panthers in to bat. The Dragons' bowlers put up an impressive show, restricting the Madurai Panthers to a below-par total of 123 runs in 19.3 overs.

During the chase, the Dragons faced early setbacks, losing two wickets within the first 11 deliveries and finding themselves in a precarious position at 16 for 2. However, Baba Indrajith and Arun initiated a consolidation effort, steadily building their partnership. 

It was during this crucial phase that S Arun attempted to powerfully strike a delivery from Gurjapneet Singh towards the boundary, aiming to slash it over the point region. Despite the ball being positioned away from both the point fielder and the third man, the relentless Murugan Ashwin refused to give up. 

The 32-year-old relentlessly chased the ball and executed a remarkable dive to clutch it in mid-air. The astonishing catch left both the players and the spectators exhilarated. This catch resulted in the dismissal of S Arun, leaving Dindigul Dragons reeling at 32 for 3 after 3.4 overs.


Watch it here:

Despite the outrageous catch and early wickets, Ravichandran Ashwin’s side was not deterred from chasing down the target. Baba Indrajith and the impact player, Adithya Ganesh built a match winning partnership that helped Dindigul Dragons to wrap the game with 35 deliveries to spare.
