Rachin Ravindra played a brave hand for his team at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and kept his team in the hunt. The first batsman put pressure on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers and till the time he was batting, he gave the home team a tough time.
However, he met an unfortunate end to his innings when a miscommunication with Shivam Dube led him back to the cabin. The batsman scored 61 runs off 37 balls and had a strike rate of over 164. He also hit 5 fours and 3 sixes in his innings to keep his team in the hunt.
Faf du Plessis takes a shout out to eliminate Mitchell Santner at the Chinnaswamy Stadium
Faf du Plessis after that discussion with the referee made sure to bring out the best in himself on the field. He made one of the best catches in the history of the Indian Premier League to remove Mitchell Santner and put his team in first position at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Mohammed Siraj bowled a low full delivery on the stump to which Mitchell Santner leaned towards the loft. Faf du Plessis, who was on the edge of the rim, jumped at the right moment and dove with all his strength to swallow the ball. He managed to catch it and made the entire crowd go crazy.
Mitchell Santner couldn’t believe what happened as he walked back with his head down. Faf du Plessis then proceeded to imitate the catch and took it behind him. It’s fair to say he was one of the catches of this season.
