Top 10 catches of the year 2016

Hardik Pandya v Pakistan, World T20

When Hardik Pandya made it to the scene in early 2016, it was clear that there was a certain swag factor involved. Of course, it was not the same swag that was carried by the great Sir Viv, but it was enough to get the crowd going as far as the broader horizons of the average Indian fan was concerned.

The 23-year-old’s fielding has been another impressive aspect. It was a Suresh Raina delivery shorter in length and Sharjeel Khan decided to hit it in the air on the on-side. The ball hit the bat a bit high and was never going to travel the distance. Pandya who was in the deep had to run in a few yards to get anywhere near the ball.

He not only managed that but also pocketed the ball. He bumped his face in the ground rolled over from head to hips but still didn’t let the ball go. He completed an impressive catch and was highly appreciated for his effort.
