The best catches from this season’s IPL

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes who is playing his maiden IPL season has impressed everyone with his all-round ability. He registered his name in the best catch of the season contest when he took an absolutely magnificent catch on the boundary rope to dismiss Mohammed Shami. Stokes took the catch at mid-wicket, with the momentum backwards he knew that he would end up landing inside the boundary rope but he threw ball up in the air when he landed outside the boundary rope and had all the time in the world to step inside the boundary ropes to complete the magnificent catch.

Martin Guptill

In the high scoring match between KXIP and MI, where MI had a flying start to their huge run chase, the West Indian batsman Lendl Simmons was sending every ball out of the park. He was destroying KIXP’S bowling, until he was dismissed after Kiwi national Martin Guptill took a great one handed catch in the mid-air. The reason for the success behind this catch was the timing of the jump.

Corey Anderson

The Kiwi national showed a masterclass in the field when he took a marvellous catch by taking a few steps backwards and then timing the jump to perfection to complete an excellent catch to dismiss GL wicket keeper Dinesh Karthik.
