10. Sandeep Sharma vs Mumbai Indians (MI), Match 42

In the 42nd match of the tournament, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) locked horns at the Wankhede Stadium. The clash between both quality teams turned into a high-scoring game due to the amazing batting efforts of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, and Tim David.

At the end of the day, the host returned home with a victory but RR opener Jaiswal got a lot of appreciation for his stunning 124-run knock off just 62 deliveries. Along with Jaiswal, Sandeep Sharma also attracted attention with his exceptional running catch to dismiss the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav.

On the fourth delivery of the 16th over, Suryakumar targetted Trent Boult to get a boundary towards the fine leg but his failure to time it properly foiled his plans as Sandeep, who was deployed at the short fine leg, held his nerves and completed the catch with his outstretched arm.
