Top 5 one-handed catches in IPL history

#4 Ricky Ponting vs Mumbai Indians, 2013

Ricky Ponting turned the clock back with this gem of a catch

Ricky Ponting played only a few matches in IPL 2013 but he left an indelible mark by taking one of the catches of the tournament, in the 10th match, between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils at Mumbai.

Ponting scored a duck with the bat but fifties from Dinesh Karthik (86) and Rohit Sharma (74) took the home team to 209/5 from their 20 overs.

In the very first ball of the Delhi Daredevils innings, Unmukt Chand attempted to flick a Harbhajan Singh delivery to the leg side but instead, it took a leading edge and flew towards extra cover where the 38-year-old Ponting flung himself in the air (after slipping during his run) to take a brilliant one-handed catch.

The 20-year-old former U-19 captain of India registered his second golden duck of the tournament. Mumbai Indians went on to win the match comprehensively and Ponting’s clock-turning catch is still regarded as one of the best in IPL history.
