5 crucial death-over fielding efforts from Gujarat Lions against Mumbai Indians

#5 Ishan Kishan takes a pressure catch, super over

Kishan stood firm and took a sensational diving catch to end Mumbai’s super over

After getting hit for a four and a six, James Faulkner came back strongly in the super over to get rid of Kiron Pollard. On the very next ball, he bowled an away swinger to Jos Buttler who went for a wild swing.

Courtesy of Buttler’s enormous power, the ball went in the air, miles high even after taking a top edge. After what seemed an eternity, it came down towards the point region.

Three fielders were closing in on the ball, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina and Ishan Kishan. Karthik had the advantage of being the man with the safety of gloves; Raina is a seasoned campaigner for such catches and has the reputation of being a safe pair of hands. And Kishan was the most inexperienced among the three.

But the young man had the best chance, so he took on the risk of circling under a skier. With the pressure on him and a ball that was floating in the air, Kishan stood firm and took a sensational diving catch to end Mumbai’s super over.
