RCB wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma took an extraordinary catch as he dived to his right to dismiss in-form Delhi Capitals batsman Sameer Rizvi. This led to the third dismissal of veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who set fire to the stage at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are the defending champions and they have left no stone unturned in all three departments to prove why they are the best since last season. Their batting has been at its best and the bowlers have put in some remarkable performances, what has made them different from other franchises is their fielding.
Jitesh Sharma surprises Delhi Capitals by dismissing Sameer Rizvi with a blinder
Bhuvneshwar Kumar had already posed a big challenge for his side with the new ball as he was not allowing the batsmen to free their arms and preventing them from taking wickets. Nissanka was out in the first over as Bhuvi got some great movement off the surface.
Having already taken two wickets in his spell, Bhuvneshwar turned the ball further and took the outside edge of Sameer Rizvi’s bat. The Delhi batsman, who was in excellent form, crossed the ball from Jitesh Sharma and the gloveman dived to his left and grabbed a single out of the air.
Jitesh produced a masterclass performance in the game, as it was a catch that could have gone down as one of the best catches in this season of the Tata IPL.
