Mumbai Indians won a thrilling contest against the Rajasthan Royals but the win didn't come without the hiccups. On the fourth ball of the 16th over in MI's chase, Royals' Sandeep Sharma caught one of the best catches ever in the IPL history to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav. Mumbai, eventually, won the match but the catch allowed Rajasthan to pull things back for bit.
Batting at 55 on just 28 balls, Suryakumar Yadav played played a slower bouncer from Trent Boult over his shoulder towards fine-leg area. Standing at short fine-leg, Sharma started running back and covered a distance of 19 metres before stretching fully forward to complete a gem of a catch. Have a look at the video:
Mumbai were 152/4 after Yadav's wicket, needing 61 runs 26 balls with Tilak Varma joined by Tim David on the crease. The duo did take Mumbai home with David going berserk in his unbeaten innings of 45 off 14 balls. The catch, however, made sure that Royals stay in the hunt until the last over.
Bowling the last with Mumbai needing 17 runs to win, Jason Holder delivered three juicy full-toss balls to Tim David, who smashed all of them out of park to take his side home with six wickets and three balls left, hunting down a mammoth target of 213 runs.
