IPL 10: Best Catches of the Season

As they say, catches win matches and there have been plenty this season to savor for a long time. Although, there were also many grassed but masses only remember the outstanding ones which changed the course of the matches in the IPL.

Looking at the list below, just like the list of death bowlers this tournament, it is largely dominated by the Indians. Indian fielding has been criticized heavily in the past couple of decades, but looking at the list, it is a no-brainer to infer that Indian fielding standard is at par with the Proteas or the Kiwis, if not above it.

Nasser Hussain once asserted Indians have a lot of ‘donkeys’ in the field to hide, highlighting the efforts of seamers in the field. But the list contains a couple of Indian fast bowlers who were electric in the field and have taken exceptional catches to put an end to that argument. That said, here is an exclusive collection of the top catches claimed in the tournament.

#1 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has always led by example on the field and has taken some brilliant catches in his career. It was during their away match against Royal Challengers Bangalore that Rohit Sharma stunned one and all with yet another stunner to dismiss AB de Villiers. Mr. 360 hit a flashy drive towards covers which only had one place to go had it not been the brilliance of Hitman.

He lunged towards his wrong side while trying to grab the ball with both hands but looking at its distance from him, he outstretched his left hand to complete an acrobatic catch and silenced one and all in the venue.
