Watch: Sandeep Sharma plucks on to a sensational return catch

The battle between two struggling sides in IPL 10, Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils is in full swing and we are already half way into the innings of Delhi. Unexpectedly Karun Nair went to flip the coin along with Maxwell as Zaheer Khan is missing out due to the hamstring injury he sustained during the previous encounter against KKR.

Fast bowler Sandeep Sharma began with an exceptional opening over where he conceded just a solitary run and bagged the prized wicket of Sam Billings in the final delivery of the over. The ball swung juts enough and took the outside edge which was safely pouched by Wriddhiman Saha behind the stumps.

He dismissed in-form batsman Sanju Samson in his next over as the visitors were reduced to 7/2 but the star moment of the match was yet to come. After getting smashed at the hands of Karun Nair for a big six, Sandeep made a terrific comeback in the 4^th delivery of the 5^th over and send back Shreyas Iyer with an exceptional return catch.

Iyer struck an uppish shot back to the bowler but it was nowhere close to his reach. He bent down and dived towards his natural side and completed a sensational low catch. It is undoubtedly on of the best return catches you will see in a while. It was courtesy his sensational spell that Delhi couldn’t quite recover from their earlier jolts.

When the post was written, Delhi had just lost the wicket of Kagiso Rabada and it was the same bowler Sandeep Sharma. With the score at 60/8 and with 5 more overs to go, they must at least try and reach the 100 mark to give their bowlers something to bowl at. It has been a brilliant effort by the Punjab bowlers and they will definitely look to bowl Delhi out for less than the 100 mark.
