IPL 2025: Best Catch of the Match - Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings, Match 22

Ravichandran Ashwin latched onto a split-second reflex catch to get rid of Glenn Maxwell during the ongoing Match 22 of the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings at the Mullanpur Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 8. A carrom ball brought about the end of the Australian, who had to head back to the pavilion for a single off two deliveries.

Backing away, Maxwell tried blasting it past Ashwin. The wily spinner got into a good position during his follow-through. Despite the ball slipping from his right hand due to the sheer power with which it was clobbered back, Ashwin's presence of mind was on point as he held on with his left hand. The off-spinner was understandably pumped up after the dismissal.

Maxwell's wicket was Ashwin's second of the evening. Earlier in the over, he got rid of Nehal Wadhera. The left-handed batter skied an easy opportunity for MS Dhoni to take. Incidentally, Ashwin's final over was taken for 20 runs by the duo of Priyansh Arya and Shashank Singh.

Conceding 48 runs in his four-over quota, Ashwin was not the most expensive bowler for CSK. Matheesha Pathirana ended up leaking 52 in as many overs. The whippy Sri Lankan pacer conceded one four and five sixes during his spell.
