Wanindu Hasaranga takes an incredible catch
Hardik Pandya hammered an unbeaten 62(47) as Gujarat Titans (GT) put up a formidable 168/5 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) contest at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Gujarat batted first and lost Shubman Gill on 1(4) when Glenn Maxwell caught a one-handed stunner at slips.
The Australian then trapped Matthew Wade LBW on 16(13), who was visibly upset by the decision. Faf du Plessis then entered the fray, running out Wriddhiman Saha on 31 (22). Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed David Miller, who contributed a critical 34(25). Rahul Tewatia was dismissed on 2 (3). Rashid Khan, like the Gujarat skipper, finished unbeaten, scoring 19 off 6 balls.
Hasaranga dismissing David Miller was crucial as David Miller was playing well and was on his way to score a half-century and inflicting more damage on the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Wanindu Hasaranga pitched the ball up a bit, and David Miller came out to smash it straight down the ground, but he smashed it right into the hands of the spinner.
It was an incredible catch by the Sri Lankan international and quickly became viral on social media.
In the IPL this season, Hasaranga has picked an incredible 24 wickets with an economy of 7.67. He is also the purple cap holder this season.
