IPL 2021: Best catches in IPL history
The best catches we have seen so far in IPL.
4. Kieron Pollard (MI vs CSK, Mumbai, 2019)
Kieron Pollard has produced several catches throughout his career which has shocked fans. But, the one which he took against Chennai in Wankhede has to be one of the finest ever in the IPL. It happened during a match between Chennai and Mumbai. The hosts were defending a total of 170 and had started really well with Chennai finding themselves struggling at 33 for 2.
Jason Behrendorff bowled a short pitch delivery on the off-stump with Suresh Raina absolutely smashing it to the deep point boundary. Kieron Pollard was positioned inside the boundary by a few meters and was not right on the edge. As the ball came towards him, the West Indian didn’t move behind, keeping his feet on the ground until the ball came really close.
He timed his jump properly and plucked the ball from the air. While he was falling on the ground, he cartwheeled towards the fence and still kept himself within inches of touching it. The catch not only won the award for the catch of the match but also ended being named as the best catch of the season.
