Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson committed a massive blunder in the field when he dropped Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli\u2019s catch at slip in the 9th over in the Indian Premier League match at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday. The ball went straight to the boundary, taking Kohli to 37 in 24 balls, and it looked that Hyderabad will not be able to defend the low total of 146. But luckily for the home side, the 29-year-old could not make most of the lifeline as he was dismissed in the next over, with Yusuf Pathan coming to the rescue for the side.<\/p>\n
In Shakib Al Hasan\u2019s over, Pathan took a terrific one-handed catch after the ball hit the leading edge of Kohli\u2019s bat, and was flying outside the circle. The 35-year old looked at the ball almost convinced that it will be going over but then stuck his right hand out to pluck the catch at the short-third man position. It was a game-changing moment in the match with Kohli leaving the crease for 38, and RCB going down 3 for 75.<\/p>\n
In the end, no other RCB batsmen managed to pull of the chase in 20 overs, and Sunrisers once again managed to defend a low total of 146 and pulled off a thrilling victory by 5 runs.<\/p>\n
Yusuf Pathan\u2019s efforts in the field receive a hilarious reaction from his brother Irfan Pathan who asked his elder brother whether he took a catch or plucked a mango from the tree.<\/p>\n
With the win, the SRH maintained their top position in the IPL table, while RCB slipped to the 6th position, further making it difficult for them to make it through the Playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
