MI vs RR: Sandeep Sharma takes 'catch of the season' to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav-WATCH

Sunday’s MI vs RR match had so much on display. The game witnessed an extraordinary ton from Yashasvi Jaiswal, the disputed dismissal of Rohit Sharma, some sublime hitting from Tim David, and also exceptional fielding on display. In one of the splendid pieces of fielding, Sandeep Sharma made a full-fledged dive to send Suryakumar Yadav packing.

As the Mumbai Indians chased the total, there was something special needed from the Rajasthan Royals’ side to get back into the game. Suryakumar Yadav, who has largely been inconsistent in this year’s IPL, was on song this time and was en route to steal the match away from RR. However, a mistimed shot from SKY gave Sandeep Sharma a partial chance to take the catch, Sharma converted the half-chance into full as he strode to stay in the proximity of the incoming catch and ultimately timed his dive with excellence.
