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.
