The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has seen numerous catches being dropped and the catch effeciency at an all-time low, however, on Tuesday, Delhi Capitals fielder, Dushmantha Chameera pulled off perhaps the catch of the tournament to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders batter, Anukul Roy.

Chameera takes a screamer

The drama unfolded in the last over of the KKR innings which was bowled by Mitch Starc. On the third ball of the 20th over, he pinned Rovman Powell at the front leg to dismiss him, and then on the very next ball, Starc sent back Roy for a duck, but the credit for the wicket should be given to Chameera.

Starc bowled it full on the middle and leg as Roy flicked it towards deep backward square leg region. The ball was flying over the boundary ropes, but Chameera flew to his left and in mid-air he plucked out a stunning catch to dismiss the batter. This was a never-seen before catch as you don't see a Superhuman efforts in IPL everyday.

KKR were put into bat by Axar Patel and the decision was instatly regreted as Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine went all guns blazing against DC bowlers. The duo went berserk and added 48 runs inside 3 overs.

However, with both the batters departing in quick successions, DC crawled back in the match, but Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh forged a partnership and took their side forward. Andre Russell provided the finishing flourish as KKR breached the 200-run mark. Mitch Starc somehow pulled things back in the last over with three wickets in last three balls. (team hat-trick).
