At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, during Match 69 of the current IPL between the Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, Nehal Wadhera held onto a fantastic grab to dismiss Rohit Sharma.
Rohit scored 24 from 21 deliveries and had to walk back.
Rohit took a step back, allowing himself to fall to the ground. Rather, the ball was struck off the underside of his blade and headed in the direction of long-on. The former MI star bowed forward and rushed in from the barrier to make a fantastic diving catch. MI lost their second wicket to Rohit.

The victor of this specific match has the chance to qualify for Qualifier 1 and earn a top-two position. Prior to the match, MI and PBKS were ranked fourth and second, respectively. The gap between the two teams is just one point, while MI, in fourth position, has a higher net run rate (+1.292) than PBKS (+0.327).
